PREFACE. 



There should be but one object in life, and that one object should 
be to elevate, not only, the human race, but every race and species of 
animal, vegetable, and mineral life, and bring the same into a higher and 
better condition. It is impossible to raise the human races, and allow 
the lower forms to remain. It is also impossible to raise the lower crea- 
tions, and bring them into more nearly perfect expression, without sooner 
or later> having the fact clearly illustrated, that what is possible in 
physical developement with the animal races, may be a hundred times 
more so upon the human plane of expression. 

The breeding of horses, cattle, chickens and swine, as well as the 
cultivation of fruits and vegetables, has been reduced to a practical 
science, and it is with supreme pleasure and profit, that we view and 
contemplate the manifestations in these directions, all of which is the 
result of experiment, experience, and knowledge of the law which 
governs generic qualities in these varied lines. The law of animal life 
has been studied by some so closely, and carefully, that they can read 
the life of a horse at a glance, and give every physical, as well as mental 
characteristic of the animal. 

There is but one thing lacking to make the science of character 
delineation with the animal kingdom perfect, and that is an understand-

ing of the vibratory, or magnetic forces, which operate upon, aye,— con- 
trol all physical organisms — human, animal, vegetable and mineral. 
Some argue that it hurts the soul life of things, to change them from 
their natural course, and that the mining of gold even, and the processes 
of refining, casting, hammering and polishing, (which certainly raises it 
into a higher condition and expression,) is in reality bad for the real life 
of the gold; but the soul of man is also hurt, apparently, by the processes 
of education, cultivation, growth and refinement, together with the trials 
in business tribulations; yet who can say that he has not been benefitted 
by the process! 

The lower forms of physical life have had sufficient attention for a 
time, therefore this work is dedicated to the human race, and is more 
particularly intended for those who are and wish to become qualified to 
minister unto the masses, as Teachers, Physicians, Healers, and 
Clergymen, as well as ifliose who delve deeply into Mystic Secrets, and 
seek to know the meaning of things unseen by many, with the physical 
eye, and only known through a knowledge of what has been termed, 
"The Secret Doctrine," "The Hidden Light," "Wisdom of the East,'' 
"Kevelation," "Illumination,' 1 "The Central Flame," and many other 
occult phrases, all of which are expressions concerning One Law, viz. — 
The law of physical environments. Observe the plural. The author 
believes that such information as is practical and valuable to struggling 
humanity in every day life, concerning the Law, should be arranged and 
expressed in plain simple terms, that all may understand its true mean- 
ing and significance. 

Many who have sought and found the secret key that unlocks the 
door of the treasure-house, which holds the secret wisdom, have in 
attempting to make personal application of the lessons gained, become 
extremists ; have isolated themselves from all conditions existing in the 
customs and practices of the times ; in fact have ceased to be of any 
service to themselves or to the world in which they live. They sought

PREFACE. 

for power. To do something for the world is the object and aim of the 
author of this work. 

Astrology, so called, which has been practiced by many unscrupu- 
lous pretenders for many years, is generally understood to mean fortune- 
telling. The abuse of the science of the stars, by those who have thus 
attempted to foretell future events, and answer personal questions, 
giving exact dates, and hours, for the f ulfillment of certain business, as 
well as other promises, the number of husbands, wives, and even 
children that a person will have, as well as other equally foolish pre- 
tended information, leads me to state : No man knoiveth the future, except 
in a general way. The personal acts of an individual cannot be deter- 
mined by the stars. The personal feelings of every individual may be, 
but their acts under the impulses given by such feelings, no man can 
foretell. It can be foretold what is Best for a person to do, under the law 
at any future date. But just what will be done must be determined by 
the surrounding environment at the time. This no man can determine. 
For reasons given, I drop the term Astrology, and use the title given 
to this work. "The Law and the Prophets." u The Law" signifies the 
eternal fixed principles in nature. "The Prophets" signify the students 
of the Law, who become Prophets as they attain to an understanding of 
the Law. Through our physical organisms we must learn the meaning 
of the Law, and with the application of this science to the physical 
structure, man, — comes the Prophetic gifts. Those who are wise, and 
well versed in this science, have a higher and holier mission in the world, 
than that of telling fortunes or catering to the ignorant, who implore the 
Gods to lead them to material wealth and pleasure. 

This work pertains to the science of Phrenology, Physiognomy, 
Physiology, and all of the forces related to the Physique of man. 
Prom the standpoint of Physiogony. — "Birth by Nature." This work is 
intended as a formal introduction of souls to the Universe. Simplicity 
is the word which we should ever have in mind, when devoting our time 

ix 



PREFACE. 

to the study of life and its problems. The more we study, and the more 
we learn, the more we see, how simple is the Laic; therefore, the atten- 
tion of the student is called by the drawings and explanations contained 
in this work, to the wonderful power to he gained, through an under- 
standing of very simple forces. 

That the studies and experiences of those who enter into this line o£ 
investigation may he fraught with pleasure, profit, and wisdom, and that 
a new era will some day he brought about through a more general under- 
standing of these wonderful laws of life, is the wish, the intense desire, 

and belief of the 

AUTHOR. 




OUR EARLY EXPERIENCES. 



INTRODUCTION. 



What is law? Sir Isaac Newton re-discovered the great infinite 
truth concerning the law of matter, (as we understand matter, or 
substance,) which is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts 
every other particle, according to its density, and inversely according to 
the square of its distance, which is acknowledged by all scientists, as 
demonstrable. 

This being true, there must be a power, force, or energy, inherent in 
the particle of matter, which gives it the attractive quality, and magnetic 
vibration, is the term I will use to express the idea of this force or energy, 
to those who are ready to admit that there is an inherent life or power 
co-existent with the atom. 

What is vibration? It is infinite and eternal activity, motion r 
expression, and repetition. It is manifest not only in matter as we view 
material things, or substance, but the boundless spaces are alive and 
teeming with this eternal principle. 

The ether of space which is in a state of vibration so high that no 
mechanical instrument, or chemical composition can be produced to 
record the number of waves per second (because matter or gasses 
vibrated that high would become ether, and cease to exist as matter or 
even gas,) and which permeates all substances, and in which all sub- 
stances act, in transmitting their effects to and upon all other substances, 
is the wire, or vacuum, through which the messages, — that is to say, 
magnetic influences, forces or powers, pass from atom to atom, planet to 
planet, and sun to sun. 



XI 



INTRODUCTION. 

The fact that light, which is a very high vibration, considered from 
a physical standpoint, requires time to pass from one point to another, 
and from one planet to another, proves conclusively that the ether of 
space is in a state of activity, and through its apparent static condition, 
compared with material substances, light can travel but 186,000 miles 
per second, whereas, if space is a vacuum in the absolute, there would be 
no limit to the speed of light. 

The ultimate atom, or smallest particle of matter discoverable by 
man, has been found to be globular, and reasoning from the known and 
provable, to the unknown and unprovable, except through the develop- 
ment of the intuitive faculties which gives one the power of soul 
recognition in matters of a universal nature, it can reasonably be stated 
that the matter contained in the atom is surrounding a force from the 
fact, that a little higher in the scale of globular expression, a jjoint is 
pressed out, and is known to take hold of other substance, absorb the 
same, digest and pass it away; showing conclusively that an intelligent 
force dwells within the atom. 

The law of material bodies, re-stated by Newton, draws atoms 
together, and in doing so there comes a time when these atoms get into 
close quarters, and friction produces physical heat and fire, finally 
resulting in the formation of worlds, suns and systems, to be blotted out 
and reproduced in other forms and combinations as the cycles roll on. 

As each atom of matter affects every other atom, so each human 
"being affects every other human being, and each planet and sun, which 
are aggregations of atoms, affect every other planet and sun. Each 
human being is a magnet with attractive and repellant powers or 
qualities. Every planet and sun is also a magnet, having both attractive 
and repellant qualities. 

It has taken many ages of observation and experiment, to find out 
how much, and what kind of effects are produced by the action of other 
planets in our system, in their different relations to the earth, and the 

xii 



INTRODUCTION. 

human organism, which is made from the dust, — the atoms, of the earth, 
has been the instrument through which these forces and influences, have 
been tested, and brought within the understanding of man. After ages 
of research and study in occult lines of investigation, a system has been 
perfected, by which the powers of the different planets in our system can 
be determined. This is the result of mathematics, hence is provable. 

The Zodiac is the scale, or measure, which is the foundation for the 
working out of different, and varying effects, resulting from the changes 
in distance and polarity constantly being produced. Human organisms 
are made up of the atoms of the earth, therefore we are earth magnets, 
partaking of the magnetic condition of the earth. Whatever changes 
are produced in the magnetic condition of the earth, produces a like 
change in the condition of all human magnets upon it. 

The Zodiac, which represents the polarity of the earth, and its 
relation to the sun, is the scale therefore, by which are measured the 
forces in nature so far as they relate to, or effect human life upon this, 
planet. This introductory declaration of principles according to the 
highest authorities in all branches of scientific research, was deemed 
necessary, that a beginning in this line of study might have the backing* 
or support of the acknowledged scientific minds of both the past and 
present. 

The lessons contained herein, which follow these declarations of 
universal principles, will relate to what is called Occult Astronomy,. 
Occult Forces, Hidden Wisdom, etc., and must not be confounded with 
material astronomy, as explained by the material astronomers of Our 
Time.

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." 



LESSON ONE. 



The Zodiac represents the divisions, sections, or parts of 
our solar system, the meridians of which show where these 
sections meet, just the same as the sections of an orange, en- 
close a certain amount of liquid and seeds, each laying close 
to another section, yet distinctly separate. Some of these sec- 
tions vary somewhat from thirty degrees. Why this is so in 
the divisions of our solar system, is accounted for by the theory, 
that the converging rays of each constellation of stars vibrat- 
ing to our Sun, forms a conic section, the outlines of which 
have been traced, and their true meridian found, and this theory 
also accounts for the different effects of each house, or division, 
on the ground that as some constellations are nearer than 
others, some with more stars and of different densities, their 
combinations produce an entirely different vibration in each 
division. This same theory also accounts for the fact that the 
effect of a planet is the same in any part of a sign or section, 
and as all of these things are accounted for by this theory, it 
is safe to declare as a fact, that the constellations, whose con- 



18 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

is divided by a line, the meridian that separates Aries from 
Taurus, and this illustration represents an actual division in 
the anatomy of man. The very hour that a certain planet 
crosses that line that rules strong at the time of the birth of a 
very sensitive person, can be determined by the peculiar 
change of vibration at this division of the head. Aries is the 
first sign in what is called the quarter of love or affection in 
the four divisions of the heavens. 

TAURUS. 



While Aries has been found to rule mental qualities and 
functions of the brain, Taurus, in like manner, has been found 
to have the quality of vitality, energy, physical and muscular 
strength, and nerve force. That portion of mans anatomy 
represented as belonging to that division (see diagram,) is that 
part of the physical organism where the nervous system 
centers at the base of the back or lower brain. The muscular 
system also centers there. Hence, all that portion of the 
system, included in that sign, covering the throat, tonsils, 
lower brain, or cerebellum. The nerve centers and muscular 
powers, are controlled by the sign Taurus. The sign Taurus 
therefore represents physical force and energy. 

SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE OF TAURUS. 

Persons born in Taurus, usually have a great amount of 
physical force, energy, enterprise, and ability to carry on 
business and make successes on the physical plane. The 
aspect of other planets to this house must alwa}^s be con- 
sidered before any judgement as to character can be safely 
given. Some planets aspecting this house, cause persons to 
be lazy and opposed to work of every kind. 

Taurus is a very important sign to take into considera- 
tion, in physical delineations, because it represents the nerv- 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 19 

ous and muscular sytems. All diseases of the nervous system 
including tonsilitis, sore throat, catarrh, diphtheria, coughs 
and colds, nervous prostration, and the first stages of con- 
sumption, are found and treated by this system through 
calculations made of the aspects, powers and positions of the 
planets and Earth as related to this sign. It is at this point 
in the human organism that all colds contracted are allowed 
to enter the system. 

GEMINI. 

Gemini represents that section in the construction of 
mans physical body, in which the upper part of the lungs are 

connected to the windpipe. 

[Note.— This is stated in this manner to explain why Gemini governs the 
lungs, when the lungs are principally in the house of Cancer and even extend 
into the sign Leo, and surround the heart. It must be remembered that lung 
difficulties originate in the windpipe and shut off the circulation leading to the 
lungs proper, therefore Gemini covers the section which includes the windpipe 
and connection with the lungs.] 

The lungs are strong or weak according to the aspects of 
the planets to the sign Gemini, the same as mentioned con- 
cerning other houses. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF GEMINI. 

Gemini is called the house of marriage from the fact that 
persons born in this sign, are home bodies generally, and 
prefer married to. single life. 

They are usually quiet people, and not very expressive, 
rather reserved. They are adapted to the home, and make 
excellent fathers and mothers. They are domestic, honorable 
and upright. 

Country life, or the life of a small village will suit them 
much better than the city. The diseases of the different 
houses are treated in the readings given farther on. Gemini 
completes the quarter of love and affection, hence it is doubly 
appropriate to call it the house of unions or marriage. 



20 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

CANCER. 



Is that division or section of the system which includes 
the chest. The mammaries, the mammary arteries and veins, 
which in the female are very much more vital than in the 
male. 

Physical disturbances which result from a bad aspect to 
this house, are always centered in the chest, and cancer, the 
cause of which will be fully explained later on, is the main 
symptoms or result. Cancer is the first sign in the quarter of 
wisdom. Cancer being in quadratic aspect to the sign Aries, 
has not only its own force and condition, but this strong aspect 
gives it an added impulse and influence from the sign Aries, 
therefore this house is second in expression, invention, activity, 
positiveness, perception, intuition, etc. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF CANCER. 
Persons born in Cancer are quick, bright, intellectual, and 
they take great interest in educational matters. They are also 
progressive and liberal in their views, are natural business 
characters, and make careful financiers. They also make 
good professional men, and when the sign is well aspected, 
good orators, preachers, lawyers, and teachers. They have 
scientific tendencies, and are inventive, and original in thought 
and expression. The Earth is in perihelion in this house, 
therefore the physical constitutions of those born in this sign 
are very enduring. Cancer is not a vital section in the anatomy 
of man, therefore the significance of the sign Cancer applies 
more to the intellect. 

LEO. 

Leo is next in order, and this section encloses the heart, 
— that is the vital portion of the heart, — as the heart and 
lungs are closely related. The reason that Leo is the sign of 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 21 

the Heart is because the apex of the heart points downward. 
The apex is that point or portion of the heart where the 
positive and negative poles of the atoms of the blood meet, 
unite, blend, and harmonize, and spring forth again to vitalize 
and vivify the system. 

What Aries means to the mental man, Leo means to the 
physical man. For Leo is the most vital of all the signs or 
sections in the human organism. Life on the physical plane 
depends entirely upon the action of the heart. Heart failure 
is the principle difficulty in this section or sign. Symptoms 
appear in different parts of the system as the result of the 
aspect of some planets to the sign Leo, which derange the 
blood and circulation, and cause inharmony throughout the 
system. 

The health therefore depends upon the quantity, quality, 
and circulation of this life fluid, and because of this the sign 
Leo has been named the sign of power, intelligence, and 
strength. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LEO. 

All who are born when the Earth is in Leo, have marked 
characteristics, and strong mental powers, they love intellectual 
pursuits, and are the compilers, historians and writers of the 
age in which they live. They express more with the pen, 
and less with the vocal organs, generally, while Cancer people 
are vocalists. 

Leo represents one of the points of the Pyramid, which 
expresses the living fire of life, the sacred flame of the intelli- 
gence of the soul, from which proceedeth the ray that leadeth 
ever on, and on. * * * * 

The Zodiac has three crosses or quadrates. Aries, 
Cancer, Libra, and Capricorus, form the positive Cross. 
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Acquarius form the Vital Cross. 



22 THE LAW AKD THE PROPHETS. 

Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces form the Negative Cross, 
or quadrate. 

The Positive Cross represents the male. 

The Vital Cross represents the Female. 

The Negative Cross represents Neutrality. 

VIRGO. I 

Virgo is the last house in the quarter of Wisdom, and 
means to the physical body that section which includes the 
stomach, kidneys and liver, which is a very vital section in 
the composition of our bodies. 

Through this section comes nearly all of the suffering 
that flesh is heir to. The stomach receives from without all 
that is taken to keep the inner flame burning. Therefore, the 
vibrations of the inner man are according to the effect of the 
substances thus taken. 

If the sign Virgo is afflicted by a combination of planets 
in strong aspect, whose vibrations are not harmoniously 
blended, there is a weakness in that section, and indigestion 
results, causing kidney and liver difficulties first, and a 
general constipated condition throughout the system later. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF VIRGO. 
Persons born in Virgo are very emotional in their natures. 
They have vivid imaginations, spiritual tendencies, ideal 
thoughts and desires. The virgin is the symbol of this house, 
and virtue is one of the main characteristics of those born 
here. The desire for the higher and more spiritual conditions, 
leads Virgo people into studies that the ordinary student will 
not readily grasp. Virgo is the most spirtualizing in effect 
upon human thoughts and desires of any of the signs, hence, 
they have religious tendencies very marked, and prophetic 
vision clear and distinct. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 23 

LIBRA. 



Libra represents the section that includes the bowels, the 
first degree of which starts at the navel, the place of the 
umbilical cord, which is the solar center of the physical body, 
and is called the Solar Plexns. 

This sign represents the material in life and expression. 
The entire physical structure is built up through this center, 
or connection with the universal forces. As Libra expresses 
physical conditions principally, all things of a material and 
worldly nature are polarized to this section, and business of 
every kind is included in the significance of this sign. The 
Earth bears the same relation as to polarity in this house that 
she does in Aries, and this is her' third position for mental 
activity, especially in latitudes north of the equator. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LIBRA. 

Persons born while the Earth is in Libra, are the best 
balanced physically and are more harmonious and cheerful 
than those born in any other sign. There seems to be a more 
perfect poise in their physical make up. They seem to stand, 
as it were, between the spiritual and the material, as if they 
were just balanced by these conditions in life. Hence the 
sign of the Scales, the Balances, is placed here to symbolize 
that dominant characteristic. 

Libra is the first house in the quarter of wealth, and 
those born here desire v/ealth and seek in every physical way 
to obtain it. Traders and merchants generally are born best 
in this house. 

SCORPIO. 

Scorpio signifies the section which includes the Generative 
Organs, the bladder, womb, colon, and orifices of this region, 
and is the opposite, or negative pole of the nervous and mus- 



24 THE LAW AKD THE PROPHETS. 

cular center of the system, being opposite Taurus. This sign 
is also in quadratic aspect, to the sign Leo, which rules the 
circulation of the blood, all of which make Scorpio a very vital 
sign, or section in the human structure. It means much to 
persons born in this sign, whether there are bad combinations 
of forces acting upon it or not, because when this sign is 
afflicted, Leo, and Taurus are also affected, hence the condi- 
tions at birth may be very good or very bad, while the Earth 
is passing through this section. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF SCORPIO. 

All who are born in this sign, are sowers ; they are 
workers, and are always planning for future returns, — " Cast- 
ing their bread upon the waters," as it were. When the 
Earth is in Scorpio, jt is the season of planting and sowing, 
and persons born here naturally partake of the general atmos- 
phere of the time and its labors. 

This sign signifies physical expression generally, and 
those who are born in Scorpio are not mental giants, and 
never orators, unless Aries has the support of two or more 
planets capable of producing the power and quality necessary 
to make an orator, and even then, the result will not be as 
great as when the Earth is also in aspect to Aries. Persons 
born in this house make good workers, fair financiers, 
especially in private matters and investments. 

SAGITTARIUS. 

We have passed below the vital regions in the anatomy 
of man, when we reach Sagittarius, so far as the signs are 
concerned, but the aspect or relation to the vital signs makes 
Sagittarius, in a way, quite important in calculating the 
characteristics of persons born while the Earth is passing 
through it. 



THE LAW AND THE PKOPHETS. 25 

Sagittarius includes a section of our bodies that reaches 
from the hip joints down just below the muscles of the legs 
about four inches above the knee joint, and signifies strength, 
endurance, firmness, independence, morality, and regularity, 
and on account of these qualities persons who are born here, 
are quite apt to lead single lives. They are somewhat opposed 
to married life. The position of the sign is in opposition to 
the house of marriage and unions. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF SAGITTARIUS. 

The general tendency of all who are born in this sign is 
to celibacy, and as single life makes one more free to travel 
and see the world, Sagittarius characters are inclined to travel. 
They are quiet and reserved, talk but little, and measure well 
their words and sentences. 

Rheumatic difficulties are the physical disturbances which 
occur in this section. 

This is the last house in the quarter of wealth and busi- 
ness, therefore these characters are not as good for business as 
those born in the two previous signs. 

CAPRICORNUS. 



Capricornus includes the knees, and as this is the first sign 
in the quarter of labor, how perfectly it represents the most im- 
portant and active joint or section, used in physical exercise. 

As this sign signifies labor, is in opposition aspect to 
Cancer, the intellectual sign, and in quadrature to Libra, the 
physical sign, also to Aries, the sign of expression, it is one of 
the most important sections in the divisions of our systems, 
especially in affairs relating to physical needs and require- 
ments, and mental qualities for obtaining the same. Business 
men, and leaders in large undertakings, which require an im- 
mense amount of labor and capitol are born here. 



26 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF CAPRICORNUS. 
Persons born in this sign are active workers, powerful 
characters, with large, broad views, intelligent, very attentive 
to their own business, always busy, and always making money, 
except when a bad combination of planetary forces is upon 
them. They are leaders in large undertakings, and make 
excellent bosses in enterprises, requiring skill in that direction. 
Large contract work suits them best, as a business, although 
many born here enter the mercantile lines, as traders. 

AQUARIUS. 

Acquarius includes the calves of the limbs, is the center 
section in the quarter of labor, and is quite a vital sign on 
account of the aspect to Leo, Taurus and Scorpio. 

When Acquarius is well aspected by the planets, the best 
workers are born, and they are so intense in their ambition 
and desire to work, that they are never idle a moment. Plans 
are laid ahead for days, as to what will be done next. 

Paralysis is the main physical derangement which crops 

out in persons born in this sign, but only when the sign is 

afflicted, which will be explained in the future readings of this 

work. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF AQUARIUS. 

Persons born here, as said before, are the best workers, 
and they are bound to work whether it pays or not. They 
have an immense amount of surplus energy, and on account 
of this, they are usually hard people to get along with unless 
properly mated. 

Take ten persons born in Aquarius, and ten born in 
Aries, with equal aspects from the planets, and put them to 
work on a job, and the Aquarius crew would do all the work 
and be willing to, for the pleasure of hearing the Aries crew

tell stories and give their ideas concerning the advisability of 
getting np some mechanical contrivance to do the work for 
them, so they conld sit and watch it. 

PISCES. 

Pisces is the last sign, and section in these great divisions 
in nature, and especially in the physical structures of human 
beings. It includes the ankles and feet, the last five degrees 
more particularly effect the toes. Corns and bunions are the 
result of an affliction to this sign, and to these five degrees. 

Pisces is considered the house of the understanding, as it 
represents the negative pole of our solar system and the 
negative pole of the human organism. 

Being negative indicates low vitality, and weakness, com- 
pared with Cancer or Leo. 

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PISCES. 

All who are born in Pisces are destined to be on their feet 
the biggest part of the time through life, their feet seem to be 
the most active part of them. They are always standing or 
walking. Never quite satisfied when sitting. 

They are usually negative, receptive, and mediumistic. 
They seek the ideal, but are firm upon the physical founda- 
tion. They are usually good workers, and are very artistic. 
Their judgment is very good. They say but little, in fact they 
are the most quiet in this respect of any of the twelve manner 
of people. 

SIGNS. 



These signs or sections of the human organism are the 
same, magnetically that the same signs or sections in the 
divisions of the solar circle are. The human sections are the 
result of the other, hence, God made man in his own image, 
and the heavenly man, the divine man, the all powerful being

is eternal in the heavens, and abideth forever. It is the com- 
binations of forces operating from the planets of our solar 
system to the Sun, and reflected to the Earth, that cause our 
weak and strong points, and special traits of character. The 
divisions of our bodies are always the same, and are the direct 
counterpart of the heavens, that is the solar system, after the 
first breath of life, air, magnetic force, vibration, or energy of 
the universe is taken into the lungs. 

If the currents of magnetic power from Saturn and Mer- 
cury, or Saturn and Neptune are operating strong upon any 
sign in the heavens, and no other planets which serve to 
counteract these forces, are in aspect to the same house, or to 
the Earth, at the time a child is born, that section of the solar 
system is in a bad vibratory state, or condition, and as the 
child is magnetically stamped at the time of birth, the section 
of the organism corresponding to the solar section will be 
charged with the magnetic force and quality of that section, 
and no other, therefore the physical organisms of human 
beings have been the Hygrometers, or Psychometrical instru- 
ments, which have tested, and determined to the fraction 
of a degree the influences, powers, forces, qualities, and rela- 
tions of the magnets of our solar system. Wonderful indeed, 
is this achievement, and well may we turn with respect, and 
admiration to the genius of prehistoric times, when souls that 
are now in the flesh as well as those who dwell in spiritual 
states, were the embodied builders and carvers of these great, 
grand, and universal statements and symbols concerning the 
nature of God and man. 









THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 29 



POLARITIES AND ASPECTS. 

As the polarity of the Earth, which is the Earth's position 
in each sign and the angle at which she receives vibrations 
from the Sun, determines the development, powers, and 
characteristics of people, to a certain extent, so does each of 
the other planets in onr solar system, also determine qualities^ 
and traits of character, when they are in the different signs. 

The aspects of all the planets to the Earth, and vital 
signs, determine the physical conditions in hnman life, while 
the aspects to the sign Aries, determine the mental powers, 
qualities, and degrees of expression. The delineation of the 
sign Aries is the science of planetary phrenology, while the 
delineation of all the signs, is the science of planetary physi- 
ology, or anatomy. The science of planetary physiognomy 
which is a deeper knowledge of magnetic effects is also con- 
fined to the sign Aries and aspects thereto. 

So the nature of planetary forces, polarities, and aspects, 
are dual, and must be considered from two distinct standpoints, 
namely, physical and mental. 

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo, cover the 
vital sections in the human organism, and they are in the 
right half of the Zodiac, the other six signs are below the solar 
plexus or center, and are called the physical or negative 
divisions, comparatively, and they cover the left half of the 
Zodiac. 

Aries is the mental sign positive. The exact opposite in 
principle, as well as position is the greatest physical sign 
Libra, which is the physical sign positive. 



30 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

Taurus is the most powerful in nerve force and muscu- 
lar strength, Scorpio is the weakest, just the opposite. 

Gemini represents unions, marriage, and home life and 
principles, while Sagittarius signifies single life, traveling, etc. 

Cancer signifies knowledge, science, art, etc., while Cap- 
ricornus means material expression, coarse, and bulky traffic 
and enterprise. Leo represents wisdom, and genius, while 
Aquarius, means physical expression, and labor. 

Virgo represents the spiritual, the ideal in human life, 
while Pisces leads to the Earthly state. These relations 
represent the positive and negative principle manifested 
throughout the universe, which is the Divine Logos of the 
Infinite Life. 

THE ZODIAC AND PLANETS. 

Diagram No. i shows the scale or measure by which the 
powers and aspects of the planets are determined. 

The planets are shown in their perihelion houses, that is, 
their nearest position to the Sun, which is their closest mag- 
netic relation to that center. They are the farthest, therefore 
the weakest, when they reach the house, or sign opposite. 
Hence, the Earth is farthest from the Sun, and weakest mag- 
netically or physically, when in Capricornus. Likewise Saturn, 
whose perihelion home is the same sign as that of the Earth, 
which is Cancer. 

The planets all move from Aries to the right around the 
Sun. 



THE LAW AND THE PKOPHETS. 31 



WAVES OF ENERGY. 



The effects of the planets upon the Earth, are the result 
of the throbbings of their bodies, producing vibrations which 
traverse the ether of space and strike the Sun repeating their 
force, the same as the clicks of numerous telegraph instru- 
ments are repeated at the central office. 

These are waves of energy, force, activity, power, and 
vitality, and as the Earth is connected by wire to the central 
Orb, the messages sent in from the stars are repeated to the 
Earth. 

These waves are illustrated in Plate No. 2, which 
gives, in a crude way, the comparative powers of the different 
waves as received by the Earth. 

Mercury vibrates very high, on account of its density and 
rapidity of motion through space, also nearness to the Sun. 
Remember the Earth senses the condition of the Sun as pro- 
duced by the magnets acting thereon. 

Take hold of an electric battery with a very strong cur- 
rent turned on, and the effect will be to cause you to make a 
change at once, you will not stop to think it over, or consider 
the matter for a moment. The vibrations of Mercury have 
about the same influence on the minds of men. They are 
quick, active, changeable, flighty and hilarious. Every vibra- 
tion from Mercury strikes with a point as shown by the star. 

Venus vibrations are in comparison, like the affect of a 
battery when it is just right to be pleasant to the senses, 
soothing, as it were. Hence Venus has a harmonizing in- 
fluence upon the Earth's magnetism, and upon the physical 



32 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

organisms, and mental and vocal expressions of human beings. 
The waves of Venus are represented as being finer, longer and 
more elastic. Venus strikes smoothly at all times, as repre- 
sented by the circle. 

Mars' waves are like Mercury's in force, but like Venus' in 
quantity, hence represents a combination, or quality between 
the two. 

Mars beats just hard enough to make people combative, 
and causes them to feel like striking back. Mars strikes 
with points which mean trouble some times, and at others 
with the flat, even surface as shown by the pyramid. 

Jupiter has longer, more powerful, yet somewhat elastic 
waves, like Venus in kind, but slower and more powerful in 
action and effect. 

Jupiter strikes* with a cushioned mallet, but there are 
curves and edges to these cushions into which people are 
drawn and absorbed. It is the nature of Jupiter people to 
absorb in a smooth easy manner the accumulations and earn- 
ings of others, hence the cushioned circle is used to symbolize 
his beats upon the Sun, Earth, and human beings. 

Saturn has the heaviest and most vital sting of all, and is 
the disintegrater of every thing that will yield to his beats, 
which are represented by many points, which pick to pieces 
the flesh of man. 

Uranus has a very deliberate, fine, and intense wave, like 
unto Venus in fineness, but more like Mars in intensity. It 
strikes squarely and softly generally, but Uranus has points 
which will turn and combat with inharmonious forces, and 
when the points of Mars are operating in conjunction with 
Uranus, the points of Uranus respond, and trouble appears in 
the lives of those who are related to such an aspect. 

Neptune has fine vibrations, but they are long drawn out

in effect. Their influence is to cause people to reach, out, 
travel across the ocean, visit foreign lands, penetrate, as 
illustrated, into other spheres. 

These illustrations are given merely to impress the 
student with the comparative force and influence of each 
planet. They are not used in delineations, but are intended 
for the training of the mind.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PLANETS. 



NEPTUNE. 



Neptune was the first planet formed in our solar system, 
and being the outermost planet, the vibrations from that 
source operate more forcibly upon the outer covering of the 
body, the skin and hair, exemplifying the great law of affinity, 
expressed throughout nature. 

Neptune is the protector, the sentinal from without, the 
developer of the larger thoughts and functions of the brain, 
and like the large body and immense distance from the Sun, 
so are the impulses* desires and feelings of Neptune people. 
Self-esteem, conscience, firmness and morality, are phreno- 
logical traits of character. 

Owing to the desire to travel which Neptune produces in 
the mind of man, all business of international interest comes 
under its influence. . 

Commerce, and travel, at home and abroad, cause us to 
look to Neptune in financial matters of that nature, therefore, 
Neptune is considered a financial planet. As Neptune rules 
the skin, and as colds are contracted through the same,- 
which result sometimes in pneumonia, pleurisy, inflammations, 
bronchial difficulties, rheumatism, gout, etc. Neptune has a 
great bearing upon all of these complaints, and when Saturn 
is in aspect, it means serious trouble. 

URANUS. 



Uranus is the second planet formed in our system, and 
the impulse given us by that magnet, creates the desire to be 
actively engaged in some labor, requiring scientific experi- 






THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 35 

ments and research. Most of the scientists in all ages of the 
world have been strongly influenced by the planet Uranus. 
Students of the Occult, who make any great success in gain- 
ing real knowledge in that branch of learning, are strongly 
influenced, and magnetically charged at the time of birth. 

The vibrations of this planet do not give one the desire 
for wealth, power, and glory, but rather influences the mind or 
soul, to consider the deeper and inner meanings of life, and the 
possibilities of growth and attainment spiritually. Uranus 
therefore is called the spiritual and religious planet, as well as 
the planet of labor. 

The nervous system of man is directly under the influ- 
ence of this magnet, and as the center or positive pole of the 
nerves is connected or located at the base of the brain, 
Uranus is the planet effecting the brain, and is called the ruler 
of the brain. 

In some positions and aspects, Uranus produces clair- 
voyant sight, intuition, and the condition necessary to inspira- 
tion. Seers and Prophets of old as well as those of our time 
are favorably blessed with the influence of Uranus. 

The phrenological points are veneration, benevolence, 
sublimity, spirituality, honesty and integrity. 

All nervous diseases are largely the result of Uranus 
when afflicted by Saturn, Mars, or Neptune, with Mercury in 
the combination. 

SATURN. 



Saturn was the third planet formed, and owing to the 
cross currents of his moons, and rings, eleven in number, the 
magnetic or vibrant force from such a combination is very dis- 
turbing in its nature, and the effect is inharmony, dissatisfac- 
tion, sickness and sorrow, in human lives, that are strongly 
related to Saturn at birth. Saturn causes people to be repul- 



36 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

sive, at the same time very tenacious and persistant in every- 
thing they attempt to do. 

On account of the disturbing quality of Saturn's power, 
more real education, growth, and advancement comes from 
that source, than from any other planet in our system. His 
effect upon the physical and vital organs of human beings is 
very bad, however, and nearly all the ills that flesh is heir to 
are traceable to his vibrations. For this reason Saturn is 
called the ruler of the flesh and bones. The most noticeable 
effect of Saturn's influence upon the system, is stricture, which 
seems to draw together the arteries and veins, as well as the 
ducts, and cause a clogging, and stoppage of the circulation, 
producing a feverish condition in the parts afflicted, and form- 
ing a sort of a pool, or catch basin, into which the grosser, and 
impure portions of the blood lodge, the final result being 
brain fever, consumption, cancer, heart disease, liver complaint, 
secret disorders, rheumatism, corns and bunions, and various 
other diseases too numerous to mention. 

Selfishness, secretiveness, caution, inharmony, continuity, 
tenacity, and determination are phrenological characteristics. 

Saturn is the principle planet to consider in physical 
delineation. 

JUPITER. 

Jupiter was the fourth magnet formed in our system, and 
being by far the largest of any, is called the ruler of the solar 
system. Like the large and powerful planet that he is, so are 
the people who are strongly influenced by the vibrant power 
of his pulsations. They have large ideas of physical things 
and business generally, and are constantly seeking to rule the 
commercial interests of the world. They seek riches, and 
devote their powers, which are great, if Jupiter is well placed 
with the other planets and the Earth, to the gaining of wealth. 









A 



THE LAW AND THE PBOPHETS. 37 

For this reason money seems to come to Jupiter characters 
very easy, compared with persons struggling under the 
influence of Saturn or Uranus. 

Jupiter is harmonious in effect upon both the mental and 
ph}^sical man, thus producing harmony and health. 

Jupiter being the most powerful material combination in 
our solar system, he co-ordinates with and controls the same 
attribute in the organism of man, namely, the muscular fibres 
of the entire frame. This influence and muscular attraction 
from Jupiter makes people strong mentally and physically, 
hence gives greater power to meet the world of business, and 
win in the battle for gold. 

Jupiter people are grasping, but smoothly and harmon- 
iously do they proceed in such undertakings as will give them 
the opportunity to grasp, and control something. 

The phrenological traits and powers are mental force, 
individuality, acquisitiveness, locality, time, ambition, and 
physical strength. 

Jupiter is called the ruler of money and business. 

MARS. 



The Planetoids, a ring of small bodies evenly distributed 
around the sun, do not change sufficiently in their effects to 
make it possible to figure magnetic forces from them, there- 
fore they are of little importance in delineations. 

Mars being the fifth planet formed of sufficient magnitude 
to figure on, is considered the planet God of War, on account 
of the peculiar impulse and combative effect of his vibrations. 

The warlike attributes of Mars make him a material 
significator principally, and materiality, physical demonstra- 
tions, mathematical proof and accuracy, is demanded to satisfy 
such natures. 



38 THE LAW A^D THE PROPHETS. 

The force and power of Mars makes people warlike, and 
causes them to become revolutionists whenever extreme con- 
ditions are upon a nation. Duels, strikes, quarrels, and blood- 
shed are the result of Mars' characters yielding to his influ- 
ence. Mars produces intellectuality, and a commanding mien, 
and makes people capable and qualified to become leaders in 

war. 

Mars being next to the Earth, outward, co-ordinates with 

the alimentary canals, and glandular cells of the system. 

The windpipe, lungs, stomach, intestines, and the orifices are 

directly affected by a bad aspect. 

Mars people do not make wealth, they will not work to 
obtain it, but are ever seeking position and power, usually 
combating every proposition that is presented. 

Phrenologically, - Mars is antagonistic, combative, argu- 
mentative, yet possessing conjugality, parental affection, 
intellectuality, and accuracy. 

The Earth, the next planet formed, of which we are a part, 
furnishes us with nutrition, food and drink. 

VENUS. 



Venus was the seventh planet formed, hence, is one of the 
most spiritual and harmonious magnets related to us. She 
has been named the Goddess of Love, because her vibrant force . 
produces what we call love in human affairs, the affinity of 
things. Venus does not produce intellectuality to any great 
extent but the physical effects are intensely pleasing and 
satisfactory. # Venus softens and harmonizes expression, both 
physical and mental, by producing harmonious conditions 
throughout the organism. 

Venus controls the fluids of the system, especially the 
spiritual or astral vibrations, from within. She gives persons 
co-ordinated to her the powe** and quality, that makes friends, 






THE LAW AXD THE PROPHETS. 39 

holds customers in business and makes home life harmonious 
and satisfactory. Venus people are contented, happy, and 
healthy, generally. On account of the confidence she imparts 
to those who are born with a high percentage of her power, 
many suffer from disappointments, caused by misplaced confi- 
dence, but they are constituted rightly for suffering, for Venus 
carries them safely through it, and puts them in condition to 
suffer again, from other disappointments. Venus people are 
too honest and trusting, to live in this deceptive world, but the 
other characters would be ravenous beasts but for the spiritual- 
izing influence of this harmonious and sympathizing magnet. 

Venus being yielding in nature, causes people to be the 
same, therefore appetite and physical desires generally are 
governed largely by this planet. 

Soul force, color, expression, harmony, perception, poetry, 
tune, faith, hope and charity, are marked traits in the charac- 
ters of Venus people. 

Venus modifies the effect of all other planets, by mixing 

her good effect with the bad in some, and the good in others, 

and when too much good is united it sometimes becomes un- 

controlable, and a debauched physical body is the result. 

These combinations will be explained in detail as we proceed 

with our studies. 

MERCURY. 

Mercury is the last planet formed in our solar system that 
can be calculated on, and being very dense and rapid in motion, 
it has been called the quickener, from the fact, that as Mer- 
cury comes into strong aspect to one of the other planets, the 
effect of that planet seems to be quickened, intensified. The 
fact is, however, that Mercury's vital and intense vibration, 
has been added to the effect of the other planet, and the two 
together form a greater force and influence. 



40 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

As an illustration, suppose that Saturn Has been operating 
upon the head and brain for several weeks, and has caused a 
contraction of the arteries and veins, penetrating the brain. 
When Mercury comes suddenly into Aries, the blood is rapidly 
forced to the head and brain. The contracted condition retards 
the blood, and Mercury forces an extra amount, and the result 
is commotion and distress, and many times death from the 
bursting of a vessel. 

Saturn's influence was not changed by this aspect of 
Mercury, but the two forces were acting at the same time and 
could not harmonize. Now, if Venus had come into aspect at 
the same time that Mercury did, she would have so harmon- 
ized and equalized the other two forces, that nothing serious or 
even very painful would be experienced, so Mercury may be 
considered simply as a stinger, with great vitality, activity and 
intensity. 

Mercury is the life giver, and rules the inmost principle 
in physical existence, which is the blood, the entire circulation 
of which is produced or influenced by his wonderful flight 
through space. 

Mercury being such an active, intense, and vital magnet, 
is the most expressive and impulsive of them all, therefore 
expression, vitality, activity, impulse, desire and willingness, 
are the result in human beings who have Mercury in strong 
aspect at birth. On account of this the phrenological indica- 
tions of Mercury are vitality, temper, impulsiveness, expression, 
speech, sensitiveness and desire. 

SUN . 

The Sun is the center of the system and being 880,000 
miles in diameter, holds this entire group of planets, sattelites, 
and planetoids, in position through the power of attraction, the 
law of matter. 



THE LAW AND THE PBOPHETS. 41 

As the soul of man is also the center of his system, it too 
holds the physical structure together and vivifies every mole- 
cule which it contains. 

The soul of man therefore bears a certain relation to, and 
must co-ordinate with a certain principle, power, force, or 
energy expressed in that wondrous Orb. Seek ye the ray that 
binds your soul to him, and you will find the way that leads to 
wisdom and power. 



RECAPITULATION. 



Mercury rules vitality, the blood, circulation, expres- 
sion, activity, the five senses, speech, oratory, and executive 
powers ; also temper, sensuality, materiality, and desire. 

Venus governs the affections, and harmonizes the physi- 
cal organism. Health, love, perception, tune, soul force, 
satisfaction, appetite and sexual desires, are under the power of 
Venus. 

Mars rules physical force, intellect, parental affection, 
materiality, anger, combativeness, calculation, mathematical 
accuracy, the desire to rule, and leadership. 

Jupiter controls the muscular system, hence mental 
power, physical power, individuality, ambition, acquisitiveness, 
firmness, balance, attraction, locality, time and love of glory, 
is the result in Jupiter characters. 

Saturn creates selfish desires, secretiveness, caution, 
inharmony, dissatisfaction, disease, distress, failure, and 
trouble, but gives that quality called tenacity, continuity. 

Uranus indicates spiritual powers, veneration, benevo- 
lence, energy, endurance, labor, scientific research, genius, 
invention, honesty, perception, inspiration, clairvoyance, and 
those qualities which make people Mystical. 



42 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

Neptune signifies morality, protection, self-esteem, con- 
science, firmness, comprehension, expansion, stiffness, cold- 
ness, love of blood and kind, slow to anger, slow to forgive, 
steadiness, calmness, travel and change. 

The student should commit the foregoing statements of 
generalities concerning the significance of the planets, before 
attempting to read or delineate a horoscope of the heavens. 

The Moon being a sattelite of the Earth, and moving 
around the same apparently every twenty-eight days, must be 
considered geocentrically. Being formed from a ring thrown 
off by the earth she partakes of the nature of the Earth, and is 
constant in effect upon the Earth. But the Earth and Moon 
together are both effected by the change produced on their 
entrance into succeeding signs, relative to the Sun. For 
instance, when the 'Earth, and of course the Moon, are in 
Scorpio, the Earth is in the sex function of nature, and as the 
Moon directly influences generation of every description upon 
the Earth, when the Moon reaches its opposition aspect to 
the Sun, or at full Moon, the Moon is also in Scorpio, geocen- 
trically. The effect is to polarize the positive physical forces 
to the sexual organs. This is the mating season of the year. 
The season of planting and sowing, which is more intense at 
full Moon than at any other time during the time the Earth is 
in that sign. 

Many gardners know that they must follow the signs 
of the Moon if they wish to raise a good crop, so they sow 
cabbage seed when the Moon is in Aries, if in April, therefore 
April is the best time to start them, for it is new Moon in 
Aries at that time that brings the best fruition to all the 
products of the garden whose positive pole, that is to say, the 
place where the seed ripens, is in the head of the stalk above 
the ground. Turnip and beet seed should be sown when the 



_ 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 43 

Moon is in its last quarter polarized to Aquarius or Pisces, in 
April, because the fruit thereof is developed under the ground 
or surface of the Earth. Corn, however, should be planted 
when the Moon is in Libra, in April and May, so that the ker- 
nel will be full and plump. The reason is because corn conies 
to fruition on the body of the stalk. 

For best results in raising wheat, it should be sown when 
it is new Moon in Aries, that is in April, which will polarize 
the positive pole of the life of the kernel to the head of the 
stalk, and a full seed will result, whereas, if the Moon is in 
Libra when seeding is done, there will be a large growth of 
stalk, and the kernel will not fill, it will be shrunken. These 
principles apply to all products, vegetable, animal and human. 

To illustrate this principle in human life to which this 
work more particularly applies, if a child is conceived when 
the Moon is in Aries, the mind will be positive, forceful, in- 
tense and clear, so far as the Moon's effects are concerned. 
But if the Moon be in Libra, the child will be more negative 
and physical in nature and will have to move its whole body 
in order to speak, while the other would have the expression 
on the end of the tongue, and the body could remain quiet 
while the tongue moved and gave the expression. If the 
Moon is in Pisces at conception the child when grown will 
have to walk in order to think clearly. 

The Moon is related to the Earth and Sun through the 
base and perpendicular of the Mystical Triangle, eternal in the 
Heavens, and to the Sun direct, through the hypotenuse of 
the same. But this has very little meaning except in spher- 
ical trigonometry as applied in geocentric astronomy. 

The Moon therefore governs generation and polarization 
of the positive forces, poles or principles, in physical combina- 
tions of every description upon this globe. Character in human 



44 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 



life, however, is the result of the combined forces of every 
planet in our solar system. 

AN ERROR. 

In order to explain an error which leads many occult 
astronomers astray concerning the Moon, the following 
diagram is given to illustrate the effect of the Moon in differ- 
ent signs. When the Earth enters Libra in the month of 
March the Sun is in Aries, and the relation of the Earth to the 
Sun is very positive, but physical in nature, in our latitude, 
and when the Moon is new it too is in Aries, so the attraction 
is very strong upon the Earth, pulling towards that sign, 
hence it is the best time for sowing the seeds heretofore men- 
tioned. But in case we wish to do sowing the last of June, if 
we waited for the Mqpn to reach the sign Aries it would be in 
its last quarter, which would be all right for potatoes but a 
very bad time for wheat. 

When the moon reaches the sign Cancer during the 
month of July the most positive generative effect is produced, 
and will give the best results from such products as come to 
fruition in the head as stated, for the influence of the Moon is 
the result of its relation to the Sun, instead of the signs, 
therefore the moon will be treated by its phases, in this work 
instead of by signs. Phases are fixed relations and are con- 
stant. Signs are changing every thirty days.

CONCERNING DELINEATION. 



After arranging the planets in position according to the 
tables of positions, for the date under consideration, the 
figure is ready for delineation ; but to aid the judgment in 
reading the same, it is best to refer to the physiological and 
phrenological percentages and fix firmly in the mind the 
powers of the planets that are strong in aspect to the 
Earth, also those strong in aspect to the sign Aries. The 
planet highest in power physical^ is called the ph}^si- 
cal ruler; the highest in mental power the mental ruler. 
The reading must be given by considering the houses the 
planets are in, not the degrees, for a house is like a platform- 
scale, when a planet crosses a meridian, it is on the edge of the 
scale and the effect is weighed in that house, the most even 
effect, however, is when the planet reaches the center of the 
house, and is considered slightly stronger in that position, 
which weakens gradually to the meridian. When a planet is 
on the meridian the effect is bad, the force being divided be- 
tween two houses, and many physical disturbances are pro- 
duced, such as paralysis of one-half the body, one arm or leg, 
crooked heads, jaws, and bad joints, teeth and features. 

If the sign Aries is afflicted say by the cross currents of 
Saturn and Mars in strong aspect to the same, and the Moon 
is also polarized to Aries, the positive forces of so many, 
meeting at the head and such bad influences, causes a commo- 
tion in the brain and a serious condition throughout the sys- 
tem. Many marks and disfigurements result from such 
centralization. Therefore it is very important that these laws 
by which we are obliged to make our entry into this mortal 
sphere should be understood.

Diagram No. 4 illustrates the divisions of the physical 
man as determined by the solar meridians, each house or sign 
including a vital section in the anatomy of our being. We 
are built up physically by the expansion, the vivication of 
liquid substance, that is to say, the soul, or astral, which 
comes to be incarnated, re-incarnated, or embodied again, 
forms a magnetic attachment to this liquid spark from the 
parent, as a spider would attach its web to an article and drop 
down or go away from the point of connection, to return to 
the exact spot with its web at will. As soon as this mag- 
netic relation is fixed and made permanent, the soul or astral 
vibrates this substance and attracts the best material possible 
with which to build up a physical body, under the law in 
operation at the time. This is the reason that women are so 
sensitive while carrying children, they are vibrated by this 
spirit who is building a new body in which to gain experience 
and wisdom under the environment of matter, for it is here in 
the flesh that souls learn the most valuable lessons and gain 
the greatest amount of wisdom and power over and concerning 
material things. 

To make the* most favorable conditions therefore, for the 
operations of a soul that seeks to embody, is the law of sex, 
and to transgress or to interfere with this natural condition, is 
to interfere with a soul's expression. 

A word to the blind has little meaning, but a word to the 
seeker after wisdom should be sufficient.

SYMBOLISM. 



As we turn backward in the history of nations and 
peoples, we find that many signs, tokens and symbols were 
once used to express ideas, principles and truths. The signs 
of the Zodiac have come to us through the ages, and originat- 
ed so far back that history fails to give us any clue to their 
origin. But when we begin to look into the philosophy of life 
and begin to understand something of the law of being, we find 
the meaning of every symbol that has been used by man, and, 
to show that this is possible, the following explanation of the 
signs of the Zodiac, and other symbols, and why they were 
chosen to represent principles and qualities in man are given. 

It must be remembered that the ancients found the prin- 
ciples, laws, functions, and qualities in man before they 
adopted symbols to express them. They founed by observa- 
tion, association and comparison that persons born in October, 
or when the Sun had crossed a certain latitudial line, were 
positive, active in mental pursuits, had intellect, intuition, per- 
ception, brain power, expression, and all of the qualities 
indicated by the sign Aries as hereinbefore stated. They 
discovered this and to make a record of the fact, was the 
important duty of the close observer of nature. In looking 
around they found that the butting ram, that was always 
banging his head and brain against something, was the most 
expressive of that positive nature or quality in man, therefore 
they placed the Ram in that division or section of the solar 
circle called Aries. 

It has been stated that 'he stars in the constellation Aries 
were in such a position, and relation, that they actually 



50 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

formed the outlines of a ram. There could be no greater 
astronomical blunder. The constellations never bad any- 
thing to do with tbe origin of tbe signs of tbe Zodiac so far as 
forming tbe outlines of tbe cbaracters used. 

In like manner tbey found that Taurus people, that is 
tbose born in tbat season or time of tbe year, bad muscular 
power, nerve, and a bigb sex vibration, were somewbat bull- 
necked, as well as bull-beaded, so in looking to nature, for 
tbey were naturalists in tbose days, tbey found that tbe bull 
was tbe best thing they could select to express vim, muscular 
strength, nerve, life, force and the qualities beretofore men j 
tioned concerning Taurus, so tbey very appropriately placed 
tbe drawing of a Bull at tbe sign Taurus. 

The lung bouse Gemini expressive of marriage, unions, 
quality, in various wa^s, especially the two lungs, was repre- 
sented by tbe Twins, why not? Could tbere be a more appro- 
priate symbol produced ? Wbat we now call cancer was first 
found in the breast of woman, and when taken out bad the 
appearance of a Crab, wbicb is a fact to-day as too many can 
testify. Tbus tbe crab was cbosen to express tbe only diffi- 
culty people bave had and the chief tbing tbat gave people 
anxiety in tbat section of their bodies. 

Leo being tbe section of tbe beart tbe source of the physi- 
cal power and life, they chose the Lion, emblematic of power, 
being tbe king of the forest, as a symbol to express tbe beart. 

Persons born in Virgo were found to be chaste and pure, 
hence the Virgin. 

Libra men were business men and well balanced harmon- 
ious characters, and the Balances were placed as a symbol for 
tbat section. 

Scorpio characters were found to be strongfy sexed, and 
natural sowers. As tbe secret organs were included in this

section, the Scorpion was decided upon, which if properly 
handled is harmless and of use, but when abused, stings and 
poisons. It is not necessary to state the stings that result 
from the abuse of the sexual functions, and when properly 
used, the grandest tribute that is possible may be paid to the 
infinite powers, by making the best physical conditions for the 
embodiment of a soul. 

Sagittarius represents the lower limbs, travel, independ- 
ence, and a changeable nature. The Archer, which in more 
modern phraseology is called the rover, or "masher," who is 
always aiming his darts at the Virgins, aptly represents the 
character. 

The Goat S} ;r mbolizes labor, hardship, endurance and 
industry. Also the product of industry — food and raiment. 

The Water Bearer represents the most welcome laborer of 
ancient times, and Aquarius people are the best laborers we 
have at the present time, hence the symbol of the Water 
Bearer bringing the water of life. 

Pisces being the most negative pole of the solar circle, 
producing characters that were always active on their feet, and 
also expressing the law of evolution in physical expression 
from the negative to the more positive condition as well as the 
custom and necessary practice of washing the feet, after the 
travels and labors of the day were finished, they chose two 
Fishes to symbolically express the two feet and the various 
traits, customs and principles of Pisces characters, as under- 
stood at the time. 

The Sphinx is a symbol or record in stone, of the evolu- 
tion of man from the lower and more negative animal state, 
to the higher mental and spiritual condition. 

The Snake is the most important symbol that has ever 
been used, or ever will be used upon this globe. When man 



52 THE LAW AKD THE PROPHETS. 

discovered that there was a law of matter, a law that controlled 
human organisms, and every function and faculty of their 
beings ; when they discovered that the planets moved under 
exact direction and power, and when they had arrived at a 
state of intellectual development, and perception, where they 
could closely observe and realize the wonderful harmonies of 
the spheres; they discovered that wonderful operation in nature 
called in our language, vibration. They found that the finest 
fibers strung in the air would give forth music when played 
upon by the breezes, and that the sound was the result of the 
movement, the undulation, or the vibration that ensued, and by 
making a close study of the causes of different phenomena they 
found that everything discoverable by man was in a state of 
vibration, motion, activity. They found that this vibratory 
motion like the waves of the ocean was wavelike. That is, 
there seemed to be no result of moment in the movements of 
things except when there was a crook or curve or rapid move- 
ment back and forth, as best illustrated by a ripple on the 
water. 

Fire illustrated this principle, as well as water and 
earthly things, and the air seemed to be teeming with this 
wonderful activity. But probably their own organisms gave 
them more evidence of this wonderful force, through the 
emotional and pulsating nature, than they could find else- 
where. They certainly found that the law of the Infinite is 
vibration, energy, force, activity. Positive and negative in 
character. They found the wisest men were more active 
mentally, more intellectual, quicker to perceive and realize 
the truths expressed in nature, therefore, vibration indicated 
the degree of intelligence in human beings to a great extent. 

After ages of research and study, and the recording in 
various ways of the facts as learned and exemplified by them 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 53 

through succeeding incarnations ; probably many of them 
counciled together and sought to adopt a symbol that would 
express this universal principle in nature. Many symbols 
were no doubt presented, and considered, but after thorough 
examination, and comparison, they adopted the Snake. 

We will not attempt to explain all of the facts in nature 
they found that the snake aptly symbolized, but will come 
down to the present time and state a few of the principles 
apparent to-day. 

We find that the snake aptly expresses the positive and 
negative poles of everything in nature, and when placed around 
the center, as illustrated in diagram of symbols, shows the 
meeting of the positive and negative principles in the law of 
our solar system. As the snake moves along upon the ground 
it expresses that wavelike motion mentioned, and shows the 
curves, or lines, of the planets in their onward inarch through 
space. For the planets and Moon move in a wavelike path. 
They never go exactly in a straight line. In short they move 
as the snake moves. We also find that a snake coils himself 
around and forms a spiral position, and as he springs forth, he 
expresses the spiral movements of the planets also. For they 
not only move in wave lines, but in spiral curves as well. 

The snake expresses the renewal of the body, by casting 
off its old skin and sliding out with a new outfit, which is very 
emblematic of re-incarnation. The snake has the power to 
charm other animals, as well as people, which is the gift of 
mesmerism, or hypnotism. This power which they possess 
has given them the title of wisdom, the parable, " Be ye wise 
as serpents, and as harmless as doves," clearly recognizes this 
quality of wisdom and power in the snake. 

It seems to me there is no end to things in nature, that 
the snake very appropriately symbolizes, therefore it is reason-

CONCERNING READINGS. 



It has been deemed best to give the lessons teaching the 
science of reading the Stars, by placing the horoscope of the 
heavens before the student with the symbols and signs in 
plain view, in order to more fully impress the mind with the 
principles to be considered. The first twelve lessons take the 
Earth into and through the twelve signs, and covers the year 
1893, the most important year for many centuries. They 
show the changes which took place and indications on the dates 
given. 

The next twelve lessons given, are of dates on which 
Saturn is polarized in each of the twelve signs. 



58 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

It is intended that these twenty-four lessons will, when 
thoroughly understood, prepare any one of ordinary intelli- 
gence so they may clearly delineate any combination that may 
be found. 

Remember that those who understand Basic Principles 
best, are the best delineators.

DELINEATION. 



January 4 th, 1893, the Earth, is in Cancer, and as Cancer 
is in quadratic aspect to the sign Aries, and Libra, the position 
of the Earth is balanced between the positive or mental sign 
and the physical or material sign, and shows in the character 
of a person born at this time a balance between mental and 
physical extremes, such characters are adapted to pursuits in 
physical lines, requiring careful study and intelligent percep- 
tion. The Moon has just passed its full phase, hence the 
characteristics of the sign Cancer are very marked. The 
Earth is poised here to receive from the other planets, and the 
first to be considered is Mercury. 

Mercury is in Libra in fifth aspect to the Earth, at 67% 
of physical power, and as this is quite high and in the physi- 
cal sign of Libra, the effect is largely material, and material- 
istic tendencies are indicated. This is Mercury's single effect. 
The. vibrant force of Mercury causes sensitiveness, but it is 
manifested upon the physical plane. 

Venus is the second planet, and is polarized in Scorpio in 
conjunction with Uranus in first or weakest aspect to the 
Earth, at 73% of physical power, which, being low for Venus, 
shows that the person born at this time will have very little 
affection, owing to the weak aspect, and what they do have will 
be universal. They will never worship any one person. They 
will not express tenderness and sympathy readily and natur- 
ally, hence they will be considered cold and unsympathetic. 
The mental effect is weaker still, only 52%, therefore the 
speech will be blunt and somewhat harsh, being under the in- 



THE LAW AXD THE PROPHETS. 61 

fluence of Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, which are in strong 
aspect to Aries, the sign of speech and expression. 

The physical effect of Venus is very good even at her low 
percentage and weak aspect to the earth, for she is in fifth 
aspect to Leo the heart, and in sixth, or opposition aspect to 
the sign Taurus, which section includes the nerve and muscu- 
lar centers, thus softening and harmonizing the nervous sys- 
tem, which Mars and Uranus are disturbing to some extent. 

Mars being in Taurus fires up the blood and causes 
antagonistic feelings to appear. This is on account of Mars 
being in strong aspect, fifth to Leo, which rules the heart and 
blood. Whenever Mars is vibrating upon the heart at birth 
this stamp of Mars is placed there for the entire earthly 
career, and whenever Mars comes into aspect to this sign, 
especially when to the same position as at birth, the person 
thus stamped, will have these combative Mars feelings greatly 
intensified. 

As mentioned before Venus softens up the Mars effect 
by counteracting his bad vibrations with her exceedingly good 
ones, equalizing the two, which means that this person, or a 
person born under this horoscope, will not be severe or to any 
great extent combative. 

Jupiter is in Aries at 77% of physical power upon the 
Earth, and as Jupiter is a powerful magnet, he draws every- 
thing toward the sign he is in. Hence people generally, will 
turn to the mental, the spiritual and intellectual, affairs in life, 
when Jupiter is in this sign, and seek to gain wisdom, more 
particularly than wealth. Those born under this combina- 
tion of forces will be intellectual, and although Jupiter rules 
them strong, they will not become money makers to an y great 
degree, although they will be able to make all and more than 
they need. The mental percentage of Jupiter is j6% which is 



■62 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

quite high, and indicates great mental strength and power. 
Mercury in opposition at 88% of mental force, makes a strong 
combination for oratorical achievements. Jupiter is physical 
and Mercury is mental ruler, which indicates strength and 
power both physically and mentally. 

Saturn is in the physical center, and is 64% in physical 
and also 64% in mental strength, which indicates that Saturn 
is a very powerful magnet to be considered in this combina- 
tion. Jupiter has the tendency to draw people away from 
business into intellectual studies and pursuits, while Saturn 
is acting just the opposite, and is drawing people under him, 
into the business world. On account of this, there are many 
Saturn characters becoming leaders and directors in business, 
and political affairs, and as Saturn characters are not good 
business magnets, from the time Saturn enters the physical or 
trade center until he passes out again, there must necessarily 
be trouble and commotion in the business world. A person 
born under this combination is not fitted for business because 
of Saturn's high percentage and position. 

Saturn, however, is balanced by Jupiter in mental power, 
and Mercury, the giver of speech is in conjunction, which 
shows us that this is an excellent combination for a lawyer, a 
politician and a leader, to be born under. Therefore, in stat- 
ing where such characters belong, and what they should pre- 
pare for, I would advise the legal profession, with a view of 
entering the political arena, for the greatest glory. 

Uranus is very low in both physical and mental power, 
which shows us that these characters will not be religious ones 
to any great degree. It shows us also, that they will not work 
in a physical way, but will get through the world bossing 
others, for Uranus people are workers. 

Neptune is weak and has very little bearing upon this 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 63 

combination. When Neptnne passed into Gemini in 1889 
pneumonia, la grippe and lung difficulties, were intensified by 
his cold, damp, phlegmatic effect, and when Saturn reached the 
fifth aspect, in the house of Virgo, in 1890 the combination of 
Saturn and Neptune on the stomach and lungs, culminated 
the lives of a great many people. Especially was it noticeable 
among those who were fleshy, robust, and high livers. Their 
stomachs being weak from high living, made them yield under 
this combination, which produced what is called the " Grippe." 

DISEASES. 

The physical difficulties which this combination will pro- 
duce in children born at this time, are so slight that it will not 
be necessary to mention them, except briefly. 

The Earth being in Cancer is in a strong house, both 
pnysically and mentally. Saturn, the planet that disorganizes 
the flesh, is balanced by Jupiter. Uranus and Mars are har- 
monized by Venus, so the forces are evenfy balanced. Hence 
harmony and health will be the result. Slight fevers and an 
occasional bowel difficulty will come on when Saturn and 
Mercury are in aspect to Aries, with Jupiter weak in position 
and aspect. 

The stomach is operated on by Neptune in fifth aspect, 
which indicates a coldness and a somewhat phlegmatic condi- 
tion, and as like attracts like, cold drinks are better than hot 
ones in the case of a cold settling in these parts.

DELINEATION. 



February 4th, 1893, we find the Earth, in Leo, the house 
of the heart, and as Mars, the combative and firey planet, and 
Uranus, the nerve planet, are in opposition, and in fifth posi- 
tion, or quadrature, to the sign Leo and Earth, the heart is 
highly vibrated, causing rapid circulation of the blood, and 
rapid manufacture of blood and nerve fluids, which cause these 
natures very high and acute sensations, in parts ruled by 
Taurus and Scorpio, which by reflex action afflicts the brain. 
But as Jupiter is still in Aries no serious brain difficulty need 
be brought on. Environment, however, may do so. 

Knowledge of these things gives power to prevent trouble. 
The physical strength produced by Jupiter and Saturn is 
about the same as in previous reading, Saturn having in- 
creased slightly while Jupiter has weakened. 

Mercury is very low, only 48%, which indicates that this 
person is vitally weak, and cannot endure physical labor 
without great fatigue. Venus is 69% and in first position, in 
opposition to Neptune, and the two in quadrature to the house 
of Virgo. Virgo being the house of virtue, Venus of love, and 
Neptune of moral power at 57%, which is high for that planet, 
shows the moral qualities to be very strong in such natures. 
As the vitality of this combination is very low, physical labor 
should not be attempted. Care must be taken of the system 
to keep up the strength. 

DISEASES. 



Hysteria and nervous prostration are indicated, owing to 
the low vitality and the high nervous and firey combination of

March 6th, 1893, the Earth is in Virgo, the house of vir- 
tue, wisdom and spirituality, which indicates this kind of a 
character, as will be seen by Mars, the planet of intellect and 
power, and Neptune, the magnet giving moral strength, being 
in quadrature or fifth position to Virgo. Mars and Nuptune 
are joint rulers in this life. Venus is weak in aspect. Mars 
being strong in aspect is the mental ruler. Mercury is giving 
a high expression of vitality to this combination. Jupiter is 
75% in Taurus, and strengthens and steadies the nervous 
system. Saturn is weak, but as Jupiter is now out of opposi- 
tion, Saturn's effect is not modified in the least. Therefore, 
these natures vibrate low in the head and brain ; also in the 
bowels, the two conditions so easily affected through, and by 
the condition of the stomach. Uranus balances Jupiter, and 
the nervous system is with a fair balance. Neptune at 60% in 
fifth position, or aspect, gives to such natures a strong desire 
to travel, and as Mars is the god of war, these characters will 
be desirous of becoming sea captains, officers, or government 
representatives of some degree. 

Mercury is the physical ruler. 

DISEASES. 



Bowel difficulties are indicated by Saturn's position, 
pneumonia, by Neptune's strong effect upon the lung section, 
while Saturn also effects the sign Cancer, causing low circula- 
tion and action in the chest, and by opposition to Aries, the 
retarded condition in the head. Neuralgia will trouble to some

extent as a natural result, produced mostly, however, by the 
manner of life, and habits of diet. 

BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. 



These characters would make good seamen, fair com- 
manders, good soldiers. They will be natural rovers, and 
travelers ; they will prefer water to land. Military and marine 
affairs are the most interesting to this class of minds. They 
will be energetic, as is indicated by Mercury, in the house of 
energy, Taurus, the nerve and muscular section.

DELINEATION. 



April 4th, 1893, the Earth is in Libra, in conjunction 
with Saturn, in sixth aspect to Aries, the head. Mercury is 
also in Libra. This combination indicates a strong Saturn 
character, as Venus and Jupiter, the magnets which counteract 
Saturn's bad influence, are both weak in aspect, and not very 
high in power. The effect of Saturn being greatly intensified 
by Mercury, indicates a tenacious, selfish, and disagreeable 
character, peevish and inharmonious. Saturn is the physical 
ruler, and being polarized to the physiognomy, the counte- 
nance is rough, ugly # and out of harmony. The lower jaw is 
liable to be twisted somewhat, owing to Mercury being near 
the meridian. From the shoulders up these characters are 
sorely afflicted. 

Mercury rules the speech, but hesitancy in giving utter- 
ance is indicated by Mercury's nearness to the meridian, which 
causes division in expression, allowing only a part to be given 
forth. 

Jupiter and Uranus keep the nervous system in fair con- 
dition and balance. Mars and Neptune effect the lungs, but 
as Venus is in quadrature, and harmonizes the combination, it 
is not very bad. These natures cannot be affectionate owing 
to Venus being weak in aspect and position. 

This is really an inharmonious combination of forces with 
which to charge a human magnet, but these conditions are for 
us to meet, and with knowledge of them, and that alone, can 
we win the battle. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 73 

DISEASES. 



Fevers, constipation, head difficulties, weak eyes, deaf- 
ness, and general complaints of this kind will be experienced 
by these natnres. The Moon jnst passed its fnll phase, indi- 
cates inward suffering, as well as bad outward appearance. 

BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. 



These characters are not fitted for business life, and must 
necessarily labor for a living. Some agricultural pursuit is 
best. The salt industry would interest them, as Saturn 
natures harmonize best with the salt of the Earth. Mining, 
and handling ores, would also be a desirable business fcr such 
magnets. Brain fever, or something more sudden will no 
doubt culminate these lives.

DELINEATION. 



May ist, 1893, the World's Columbian Exposition was 
opened. We find the Earth in Scorpio, in conjunction with 
Uranus. Venus and Jupiter are in opposition with Mercury 
in sextile or fifth position. Jupiter is the physical ruler at 
&7%> Venus second at 84% and Uranus 75%, all very high, 
and all three in harmony. Being in the house of, and aspect- 
ing Taurus, the nervous system, shows conclusively a well 
balanced physical structure. Mercury being in sextile to the 
Earth, and in quadrature to Aries, and in opposition to Mars, 
indicates a person capable of expressing ideas clearly and 
intelligently. As Saturn is also in opposition to Aries, and in 
quadratic aspect to both Mercury and Mars, we have a very 
strong combination of positions, and aspects. These charac- 
ters, therefore, are very well proportioned for physical expres- 
sion, warm and affectionate, with very strong and forcible 
mental and intellectual tendencies. Neptune influences this 
date very little. 

Observe the difference between the indications in this and 
the previous reading. Thirty days making excellent magnetic 
combinations for human expression. 

DISEASES 



Very high and conflicting vibrations in the brain, and the 
bowel difficulty, mentioned in former reading, are indicated, 
but the other physical effects are so favorable that no serious 
results need follow any attacks that may be experienced. 



76 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. 



These characters are adapted to the professions. The 
ministry, legal profession, medical profession, or the lecture 
field is best. Why? Because Uranus gives spirituality, 
Venus gives sympathy, Jupiter power. The Earth is between 
spirituality and power, money, with Venus to soften the 
qualities necessary to a Jupiter or money making character. 
In other words, Uranus — labor, is in opposition to Jupiter — 
capitol, while Saturn, Mars and Mercury, give intellectual 
power, and ability to use the same. 

They could make their best mark probably in law, as 
Mars and Saturn give powerful argumentative capabilities. 
The ministry is next, the lecture field next. Great wealth 
will never come to such persons through personal efforts, for 
Uranus will incline the mind more to the intellectual and 
scientific pursuits, and work will be the result.

June 6 th, 1893, the Earth is in the house of Sagittarius, 
the division of the hips and thighs, with two planets only in 
strong aspect. Mercury at 92% and Neptune at 62% both in 
Gemini in opposition, or sixth aspect. Mercury is both 
physical and mental ruler. Venus second in power, but in 
weak aspect. This we call a Mercury character ; very active 
on the feet as Mercury quadrates the feet, and Neptune indi- 
cates travel and change ; very sensitive, high tempered, but 
cold and stiff in demeanor, reserved and with damp and 
clammy touch. Morals good, as Neptune, the planet of moral 
power, is in quadrature to the house of Virgo, or virtue, with 
Mercury intensifying the same. Deception is indicated ven^ 
strong by Mars and Saturn in quadrature, and in strong 
aspect to Aries, the sign of expression, with Venus also di- 
recting the expression. The bad combination of Mars and 
Saturn is covered on the surface by Venus, showing that with- 
in a very different character dwells, than the one seen upon 
the surface, but the strong moral qualities will protect the 
inner character, and keep the deceptive qualities from being 
discovered b}^ general acquaintances, and only those with 
psychometric powers, will be able to read between the lines. 
Jupiter and Uranus strengthen the physical system as in the 
previous delineation. 

DISEASES. 



Paralysis, rheumatism, lumbago, gout, cramps, chills and 
fever, colds, and damp, cold feet, will afflict these characters, 
as the result of Mercury, the planet of fevers, being in con-

Pisces, the feet.

These persons are natural actors, and imitators, as indi- 
cated by Mars, Saturn and Venus, aspecting the sign Aries, 
the sign of expression, indicating double characters, or the 
ability and inclination to be one faced to the world but another 
person, in fact. Ingenuity to do this, qualifies one to imitate 
and personify, and Neptune will be gratified by the traveling and 
change necessary to a life upon the stage.

July 9th, 1893, we find the Earth alone in the house of 
the thighs, and limbs, in quadratic aspect to the signs Aries 
and Libra, with Saturn in Libra, the only planet in strong 
aspect. This is a strong Saturn character producer, as 
Mars afflicts the heart house, and fires up the blood. Mercury 
in conjunction with Uranus, in opposition to Jupiter in the 
house of energy, nerve, and power, with Venus out of aspect, 
the combination indicates an inharmonious, irritable and 
quarrelsome nature. Such persons should live in the country 
and engage in light farming, where very little responsibility 
and worry will be known. Mercury at only 49% with Mars at 
43%, shows that this is best. Venus being ruler, but weak in 
aspect shows that this person will not harmonize with people 
and remain peaceful long. 

DISEASES. 

Nervous diseases are indicated most on account of Mars, 
afflicting the blood, and Saturn afflicting the brain, with Mer- 
cury and Uranus intensifying the nervous system. Jupiter 
alone keeps such persons from becoming nervous wrecks, but 
in spite of Jupiter, nervous disorders will trouble them much, 
and the nervous system must be treated when these natural 
conditions are aggravated, in order to produce beneficial results. 

BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. 



These characters have no business qualifications worth 
mentioning, and agricultural pursuits are best, although hard 
physical labor cannot be endured. But out door life and 
country life would be best for such people.

August ioth, 1893, the Earth is in Aquarius in conjunc- 
tion with Mercury, with Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Taurus, 
Uranus in Scorpio, Saturn and Venus in Libra. Neptune is 
out of aspect in Gemini. Observe the striking change which 
has taken place since the last delineation of thirty days ago. 
Mercury is now 68%, giving high vitality and activity. Jupi- 
ter is ruler at 83%. This combination shows us a character 
with great vital physical power, capable of great endurance, a 
worker, a pusher in business, a natural contractor, manager, 
and builder, capable of handling large and extensive deals in 
contract work. This is the result of the striking balance of 
physical or magnetic effects of the planets. Mercury and the 
Earth, in opposition to Mars and Uranus, in opposition to 
Jupiter, all high in power, while Saturn is low in power, and 
Venus is in conjunction to soften and harmonize the expres- 
sion, as well as keeping the head, bowels and physical health 
generally, in very good condition. Mars is still in Leo, and 
fires up the blood somewhat, but it is necessary in the busi- 
ness for which these characters are best adapted. Venus will 
cause them to speak kindly, although within the fire may be 
raging. These characters rule, always rule. 

DISEASES. 

Venus being in the sixth position to Aries, shows us that 
these subjects have very good appetites, and through the 
gratification of the appetite may become mentally deranged. 
Mars, Uranus and Mercury, in their present positions, aspect- 
ing Leo, the blood ; Scorpio, the secrets ; Mercury and the 



84 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

Earth in second aspect to one, and third aspect to the other,, 
make a combined force upon the Earth very powerful. Secret 
disorders, therefore, are indicated, but generally speaking,, 
these characters must die of old age, as diseases are mild with 
such a combination of forces. 

BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. 



The characters produced under this combination, will be 
natural mechanics, mathematicians, and practical jobbers, well 
adapted to ship building, and large construction work gener- 
ally. They will make good government contractors. Fe- 
males of this class are good managers in manufacturing 
establishments, and will do well in business for themselves. 
Great wealth cannot be made, however, as Uranus is in oppo- 
sition to Jupiter, and Mars has a bad effect also upon Jupiter's 
money making forces.

September ioth, 1893, the Earth is in Pisces, in opposi- 
sition to Mars with Venus in quadrature. Jupiter in Taurus, 
is the physical ruler at 80%. Neptune is also in quadrature 
in opposition to Venus. Mars and Venus two opposites, make 
a harmonious average, and in this case give a very well bal- 
anced character. Neptune causes a desire to travel, Saturn is 
left alone and the bad influence is freed again in this combi- 
nation by Venus. Mercury, Uranus and Jupiter, are in strong 
aspect and give physical endurance and long life. Mercury is 
mental ruler, which indicates mentality and intellectual devel- 
opment. Mars in strong aspect shows mathematical accuracy, 
and systematic reasoning in all matters material. The 
spiritual perception is not very high, Uranus at 27% only, 
does not indicate a very clear perception of the hidden forces in 
nature. 

DISEASES. 



No serious difficulties are indicated, as Venus is so high in 
power and there being three opposition aspects, with planets in 
seven houses, which divides up the forces and equalizes con- 
ditions. The head will feel the low vibration of Saturn, and 
the bowels are still afflicted, but not seriously, as Venus is in 
sextile to Saturn. The Moon is new and the effect is religious, 
as the positive physical center of expression is in the head and 
as Virgo is in strong aspect, the tendency is to the ideal, the 
religious.

The medical profession is first for these persons, and law 
is also suited to the character. Mars and Venus make a good 
combination for the medical practice. Mars is good for 
law and Saturn assists by aspecting the head, and Jupiter is 
mentally suited to such work. They will naturally turn to 
these lines if environment permits.

DELINEATION. 



October ioth, 1893, the Earth is in Aries, the sign of the 
head, the most positive position in relation to the Snn that is 
possible. Saturn is in opposition, and as Mercury is in 
quadrature to the Earth and Saturn, the effect of Saturn is 
made dangerous, by the meeting of the two extremes, polar- 
ized, or aspected to the head. Mercury indicates fevers, Saturn 
low vibration, depression, inharmony and rashness. The com- 
bination means a character that is very impulsive, tenacious, 
and subject to violence. Venus in quadrature to Uranus and 
Jupiter, harmonizes the physical conditions to quite an extent. 
Neptune in sextile to Aries and the Earth signifies changes, 
and a desire to investigate new inventions and improvements. 
Mars is only 40% in physical power, so the combative element 
is weak. The mental effect of Uranus is very low, which 
means that the spiritual perception is limited. Mercury, 
Jupiter, and Saturn, are the mental indicators. 

DISEASES. 



The Earth being in Aries, the house of the head, the 
sign of fire, fevers, and high vibration generally, and being 
aspected by Saturn and Mercury, indicates head difficulties, 
bowel complaints, especially inflammations. Mercury shows 
rapid action, while Saturn indicates stricture, the two being 
antagonistic in nature. The sign Cancer is also weakened, 
causing inharmony in the chest. The blood is very liable to 
become thickened by bowel difficulties, and from lack of cir- 



90 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

culation and power to throw off the impurities through the 
natural channels. The other weak portions of the system are 
apt to catch the impure blood, for when it is thick, and 
clotted it lodges where the circulation is slow. In this case it 
is the chest, therefore, these characters are liable to cancer of 
the breast, especially females, unless they keep their sys- 
tems free from pollution. 

In case one should consult this system of diagnosing dis- 
eases, it will be safe to conclude, from the positions under con- 
sideration, that as the circulation is very much afflicted, and the 
system is one with feverish tendencies, cancer must neces- 
sarily result if it be a lady, and thirty or thirty-five years of 
age. If a man, brain fever, loss of memory, and bewilderment 
in the head generally. The reason women are afflicted more 
with cancer is on account of the corset, which most of them 
wear. The corset retards the circulation about the chest, in- 
tensifying the natural weakness in that section. 

BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. 



Quickness, and rashness, unfits these characters for busi- 
ness. Agricultural and mining pursuits would suit such 
natures best. The minerals and salts of the Earth co-ordinate 
with these conditions, and the loughness of such life, meets 
the rashness of the nature of those born uncler such a mag- 
netic combination.

DELINEATION. 



November 7th, 1893, the Earth is in Taurus, in conjunc- 
tion with Jupiter, with Uranus in opposition. Jupiter is ruler 
at 92%, Venus is at 74%, Uranus at 74%, Mercury at 65%, 
producing great physical strength, and capacity for labor. 
These characters being born in the house of energy, with 
Jupiter, the planet of muscle, power and wealth, shows us 
characters capable of making money by labor or contract 
work. Mars and Saturn in sixth position to the head sign, 
indicate a bad mental combination and the countenance must 
necessarily be somewhat disfigured and repulsive from such 
conjunction. Crankiness in some form, is the result of this 
relation, to the sign of the head. Great mental strain and self- 
condemnation from no outward cause, afflicts this character as 
a result of the combative and tenacious powers of these two 
magnets. 

DISEASES. 



Uranus, the planet of the nervous system, and Mercury, 
the planet of fevers and high vibration, being very strong in 
these characters, show that a bad condition of the brain, caused 
by the conjunction of Mars and Saturn, means head difficulty, 
bordering on insanity. Jupiter gives physical strength and 
endurance but is acting upon the muscular system, principally, 
making these dangerous characters to oppose. The mind and 
nervous system is afflicted in this case and all other indica- 
tions are trivial

DELINEATION. 



December 7th, 1893, trie Earth, is in conjunction with 
Neptune, the planet of travel, commerce, change, and enlarge- 
ment. Gemini is the house of the lungs, and Neptune being 
a wet, cold, damp, influence, and so strong upon the Earth, 
with no aspect of other counteracting influences, reveals a very 
strong Neptune character, a natural rover, a person of high 
moral character, but cold, distant and reserved. Jupiter is 
physical ruler, and is in position to steady the nervous sys- 
tem. Mars and Saturn still afflict the head, but Mercury, the 
ruler of the blood, is in Leo, and gives rapid circulation. 
This, with a natural Neptunian organism, averages up and 
gives a fair physical condition, generally speaking. This per- 
son will have a cold hand shake, cold feet, and a rather stiff 
demeanor. The character is marked and intensely individual, 
as there are three conjunctions and two quadratures in the ex- 
pression, which always indicate marked and powerful charac- 
teristics. 

DISEASES. 



Colds, and stiffness in joints, chills and fever, will result 
from two conditions in the system, Neptune causing a cold, 
damp state, and Mars and Saturn and Mercury, a hot and 
agitated condition. 

BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. 



Persons of this nature are natural seamen, ana are 
adapted to a business which extends over the seas. Any large 
coast trade, or the fishing industry is suited to these charac- 
ters.

The foregoing twelve readings are given, to explain in a 
general way, the method of procedure in considering the posi- 
tions and relations for any given date, but in writing the Law 
of Being, for a person, a certain form should be used, which 
will give the special characteristics in clear and definite terms, 
explain the reasons for the conclusions, and also state what the 
primal causes of physical disorders are, and also explain the 
method and formula for relief, and restoration to a harmoni- 
ous and natural condition under the law. And if need be, to 
show how to rise superior to the physical law, in case bad and 
inharmonious magnetic conditions are natural.

DIAGNOSING DISEASES. 



Saturn being the planet that governs the flesh, it is neces- 
sary to consider Saturn first, when diagnosing a case. When 
Saturn is in a vital sign, more or less inharmony is created 
there, and much trouble sometimes results. But there is a 
greater possibility of restoring a person afflicted with con- 
sumption when Saturn is in Gemini, the house of the lungs, 
than when Saturn is in Sagittarius, Pisces or Virgo. The 
reason for this is because when Saturn is in Gemini he draws 
other forces to the rescue, but when he is in either of the other 
three houses, he draws the forces away from the lung section, 
leaving the activities low and weak. This should always be 
borne in mind when treating a case of this nature. 

This rule applies to all parts of the system, and the follow- 
ing diagrams will illustrate and more fully explain what sec- 
tions are afflicted by combinations in which Saturn afflicts 
vital portions of the physical organism. 

DIAGRAM 18. 

In this horoscope Saturn is in Aries, hence the concen- 
tration of all the other vibrations upon that section, and mag- 
net, which has the most vital effect upon the physical health. 
Mars is in quadrature which indicates inharmonious relations. 
The Earth is also in quadratic aspect, which makes her sense 
these conditions very keenly. Libra has no magnet to draw 
power toward that section, therefore, Libra is being exhausted, 
taken from, reduced, hence a low and inharmonious vibration 
must necessarily result, indicating stricture of the intestines, 
constipation, inflammation of the bowels, and after many

attempts to remove the same, kidney and liver difficulties ap- 
pear, and also sexual weakness, because of the close relation 
and position to these parts. 

THE ONLY CURE. 



Proper diet is all that is needed to prevent the above men- 
tioned ailments, and diet alone is the only treatment that will 
restore harmony to the system of one thus afflicted. See 
Rules of Diet. 

diagram iS — . 

In the case before us, we find Saturn in Taurus, and by 
applying the same reasoning as in the previous case, we con- 
clude that the sign Scorpio is afflicted, and as Taurus is the 
section of the nervous system the indications are more serious, 
from the fact that when the nervous system is weakened, or in- 
harmoniously vibrated, greater danger from diseases must 
result. We find also in this case that Leo, the heart section has 
no magnet, therefore that section is weakened by Saturn, which 
indicates a slow action of the heart. We find Mercury weak in 
physical vitality which shows more weakness. In arriving at a 
conclusion in this case, we say first, the sexual organs are 
greatly afflicted, and the nervous system is in an aggravated 
condition. So the first thing to do, is to remove, or shut off 
all food and drink, that in any way irritates or operates upon 
the nerves. Everything that has a tendency to thicken the 
blood, must be abandoned, and such diet as is best suited to 
the case substituted. See Rules of Diet. 

• TREATMENT.

ness, falling of the womb, and various other ailments, all of

weakness, and second, the aggravation of the primal affliction

by food, drinks, and drngs, nniit for the system of a Samson. 
The sitz bath is a very beneficial and harmless remedy, which 
will draw the fever from the parts, and also increase the circu- 
lation of the blood, which is lacking. Plenty of sunlight and 
outdoor exercise, the sitz bath, and proper use of a family 
syringe, with pure rain water, in rectal and womb afflictions, 
will strengthen and restore this section of the ph\^sical organ- 
ism, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. 

As the sign Leo is afflicted, also in this case, heart trouble 
is indicated, and many are dropping dead suddenly ever} r day, 
because of this primal stamp, under planetary law, and be- 
cause of the polution taken into the system, the impurities of 
which lodge in the apex of the heart, and suddenly stop the 
circulation. Proper diet alone will remove all danger from 
this section. 

DIAGRAM 19. 

This combination of forces drawn toward the Earth by her 
conjunction with Saturn in Gemini, indicates considerable 
trouble with the lungs, but the fact that Saturn is drawing all 
the other powers in this direction, shows us that these other 
magnetic effects will give strength and endurance to these 
parts, and as Venus is in strong aspect to the Earth and 
Saturn, there is even- prospect of recover}' in cases of this 
nature, already started and aggravated. Jupiter being in 
Aries, indicates mental power which is very important in 
treating all the ills of the flesh, Mercury also is strong in 
physical power, giving a full vital life and force to the system. 
Therefore this case is one that can be cured by the simple 
method alread} r stated. 

DIAGRAM 20. 

We now find Saturn in Cancer in conjunction with Venus, 
the Earth in Virgo in conjunction with Mercury. Mercury 



102 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

indicates high vital powers, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Venus 
aspect the sign Aries, which indicates great mental power. 
Venus and Jupiter fully balance the effects of Mars and Saturn, 
and the section of the thighs, or the sign Capricornus, which 
has no magnet, is but slightly affected, because of this even- 
ness of balance of the forces aspecting that house. 

We conclude then, that this combination means health to 
whoever is born under it, and in case of slight disturbances, 
and colds, which all are subject to, there is nothing to be 
feared with persons of this nature. 

DIAGRAM 21. 

Saturn is alone in Leo in this reading, with Mercury and 
Uranus, two vitalizers, intensifying the nervous system. The 
Earth in Cancer, however, is protected somewhat by Venus in 
quadratic aspect in Aries, but as the first combination is 
strong upon the hear,t, the most vital section, there is every 
indication of a nervous ailment. Palpitation, suffocation, 
angina pectoris, or neuralgia of the heart, these afflictions are 
usually named, but the real cause is in the antagonistic mag- 
netic vibrations of that section of the anatomy. Saturn con- 
tracts the apex of the heart, while Mercury intensifies the cir- 
culation, suddenly, and periodically, when in strong aspect to 
this sign, 

Uranus vibrates the nerve, aura, the mind force, and pro- 
duces fear, which causes the spirit to abandon the body, that is, 
give up instead of attempting to control and regain equili- 
brium. 

The treatment of a case of this kind must be such as 
will calm the nerves, and thin the blood, for the blood is the 
affected part. It has been rendered thick by food and drink, 
and food and drink that will thin the same, will remove all 
danger. See Rules of Diet.

DIAGRAM 2 2. 

If a person calls or sends for a physical delineation accord- 
ing to this system, and this horoscope of the heavens is fonnd 
at their birth, we wonld first consider Satnrn in Virgo in 
triple conjunction with the Earth and Mercury, with Venus 
and Mars in quadrature in Gemini, and Neptune in opposi- 
tion. This combination of magnets is very powerful, and 
signifies a very strong character. Saturn, Neptune, Mars and 
Mercury, are a bad combination for the lungs, as well as the 
stomach, and Venus alone is the only counteracting influence. 
Jupiter, however, protects the heart and nervous system, and 
Uranus gives mental power and spiritual perception, which 
makes it possible to keep the spirits up, and active. 

We conclude from this lay out that the stomach is more 
intensely operated upon than any other portion of the system. 
As Mercury, the quicken er, is in that sign, the magnetic forces 
are antagonistic, hence the derangement of the same, and 
kidney and liver complaints will be the result, but no serious 
cases need be anticipated, except when the conditions are 
greatly aggravated. 

A simple treatment is all that is necessery to restore har- 
mony. On account of the inharmonious vibrations centering 
upon the stomach, the food is not fomented harmoniously, 
hence does not assimilate freely. A coating is liable to form 
jon account of this, and to remove this and cleanse the stomach, 
is the first thing to do. Vinegar contains enough acetic acid 
to cut out this coating and acidify and purify the same, there- 
fore a diet consisting of potatoes, cabbage, onions sliced in 
vinegar, pickles and cider, are necessary to pacify the stomach, 
vivify the liver and kidneys and create a more even and har- 
monious assimilation and circulation. One such meal a day, 
with nuts, fruits and cereals, as given in Rules of Diet, will

very quickly place one suffering from this disorder into a con- 
dition of health. 

DIAGRAM 23. 

We find Saturn in Libra in this delineation, in strong 
aspect to Aries, therefore the brain is being drawn from, and 
the vibration lowered and weakened. Venus, however, is in 
quadrature and as there are no other magnets in strong aspect 
to Saturn and Venus we have only the two to consider to- 
gether. Venus being much nearer the Sun and Earth than 
Saturn, just about balances the physical effect of that planet. 
Hence we conclude, that as Venus is harmonious and healthy 
in effect upon the brain, that the two will produce a very fair 
balance and average in that section, so no serious indication is 
found by Saturn in this delineation. 

Mercury and Neptune are the only two magnets operating 
upon the vital physical quadrate, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and 
Aquarius. Mercury is very quick and active, Neptune is the 
opposite, therefore sudden strains and changes are indicated, 
and these sudden changes are more apt to be paralytic than any- 
thing else. If these and other planets are near or on the meri- 
dians, there is positive evidence of paralysis, but as paralysis 
is generally the result of constipation, proper food will prevent, 
and also restore such a case as this. With Saturn changed 
to Scorpio, this combination would indicate paralysis of the 
heart, also locomotor ataxia, and with Venus giving a strong 
desire for things palatable, the case would be one requiring 
skill in treating the mind of the patient, as well as the body. 

DIAGRAM 24. 

The horoscope for this lesson, shows the positions of the 
planets on the third day of February, 1895. Saturn is in conjunc- 
tion with Uranus in the sign Scorpio, a vital sign. Mercury is 
in opposition in Taurus, the section of the nervous system. The 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 109 

three are in quadrature to the sign Leo, in which the Earth is 
moving. All of the other magnets are weak, both upon the 
Earth, and upon Saturn, Mercury and Uranus. Therefore, 
this is a very powerful combination of inharmonious vibrations, 
polarized to the nervous system, and especially to the heart. 
All persons still in the dark concerning the law of physical 
life and health, will suffer, and many will succumb under this 
pressure, the heart will simply stop and they will be forced to 
vacate at once. Persons magnetically related, and we mean 
by this, those who were afflicted in the heart section by Saturn's 
aspect at the time of their birth, who are drinking coffee freely, 
which has a tendency to thicken the blood and aggravate the 
nervous system, will suffer the most. The blood being thick 
and the heart section being contracted by Saturn, and inhar- 
moniously vibrated by Uranus, when Mercury comes swiftly, 
and suddenly into Taurus, and starts the blood and heart in- 
stantly into rapid action, the result is an explosion, and death 
relieves the soul from bondage. 

TREATMENT. 



Many people will not feel that there is any danger in 
their heart difficulties, therefore, they will do nothing to pre- 
vent this culmination. Of course they will know nothing 
about the magnetic law, and will not be prepared to meet it. 
But to those who are afflicted with heart troubles of any kind, 
a warning and suggestion should be sufficient. As already 
stated, the blood is thickened by Saturn, as well as by coffee, 
and indigestible food. The only thing necessary to do, in 
order to remove all danger, is to thin up the blood and cleanse 
the system. Then when Mercury springs into the sign 
Taurus, the same activity of the heart and blood will be pro- 
duced, but the blood will be in a condition to now freely, and

only a slight shock and pain will be experienced. Other diffi- 
culties of a sexual nature will appear, and trouble both sexes, 
but the treatment of the system as indicated, will restore har- 
mony and health. For there is no combination of the planets, 
the bad effects of which cannot be controlled, and reduced to a 
very slight affliction. 

DIAGRAM 25. 

September 17th, 1897, the planets will be in the houses 
or signs indicated by the horoscope for this lesson. Saturn 
and Uranus will be entering the sign Sagittarius in opposition 
to Neptune in the sign Gemini, the section of the lungs. 
Mercury will be in Sagittarius also, and the Earth will be in 
Pisces, in quadrature to the combination. This means to 
those having lung difficulties, a sudden tearing down and 
racking to pieces, but as Jupiter is high in physical power, 
there will be strength imparted to the Earth which will enable 
many to pull through, until Jupiter enters Libra and leaves 
the bad combination to complete its work the next season, or 
year. 

Children born under this combination will have the 
strengthening influence of Jupiter on the stomach, and lungs, 
therefore will be comparatively long lived, as Jupiter, Nep- 
tune, Mars and Uranus, all acting together, denote power, 
tenacity and continuity. And although more or less lung 
affections are indicated, unless such characters are very care- 
less and negligent, they will not have consumption. Those 
who are afflicted by other combinations, indicating consump- 
tion, will at this time suffer very much, and many will pass 
away during Mercury's stay in conjunction with Saturn. 

DIAGRAM 26. 

In the foregoing diagram, we find Saturn in Capricornus, 
in quadrature to the Earth and Uranus in Aries. The other 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 113 

planets are weak in aspect to these three. The Earth is in the 
sign of fevers, the sign of the head. Uranns is drawing the 
forces of Satnrn and the other planets toward that sign, while 
Satnrn is pnlling toward Capricornns. All of which weakens 
the two sections, Libra and Cancer. Mercury is weak, hence 
the vitality is very low. Saturn and Uranus are inharmoni- 
ous, therefore, friction and exhaustion must result. Cancer 
and Libra being afflicted indicate bowel difficulty, and low 
activity in the chest. The bowel contraction means a consti- 
pated condition. 

This in turn means feverish afflictions, and general polu- 
tion of the system from lack of circulation. The bowels area 
section that can be operated upon, hence the removal of the 
obstruction in that section. The section of the chest is not 
supposed to be treated for anything unless there is something 
there to treat, so this section is overlooked in a case of this 
kind, and the bowels receive most of the medicine, food and 
attention. All the time there is gathering in this cess pool of 
low vibrating atoms, and contracted arteries and veins, the im- 
purities of the blood, the thickened and clotted particles that 
cannot pass these contracted parts. This is so silent and so 
gradual that it is not noticed until a hard lump is formed and 
pressed toward the surface. An examination discloses the fact 
that it is a case of cancer of the breast. Fear and consterna- 
tion takes possession of the mind at once, and the cancer 
fiend, and exterminator is consulted. He, or she, for they are 
too numerous to mention, both male and female, and not one 
of them have any idea of the cause of such manifestations, 
makes a great scare by telling of the wonderful cases they 
have treated. One uses plasters, another the knife, and some 
use internal remedies, while others use mind force, electricity, 
magnetism, and various other forces and systems. Nearly all

of tliem have the same idea concerning its removal, which is to 
get it ont at once. Remove it. 

It has probably taken years for these small particles of 
blood to settle and form a lnmp. The arteries and veins lead- 
ing through this section being clogged, warped and twisted, 
finally present the appearance of an animal with many legs, 
horns, tails, etc. Hence the one desire to have it ont whole so 
it can be seen. 

TREATMENT OF CANCER. 



It is useless to attempt to remove a cancer as long as the 
system is in a condition to feed it, by continuing to lodge im- 
pure particles of blood within this section of the system. The 
first thing to be done is to thoroughly cleanse the system. 
This will take several months in most cases, but just as soon 
as the circulation of the bowels is restored, and a healthy con- 
dition of the same is fully realized, the growth of the cancer 
will be fully checked. And while this is going on, Turkish 
baths, sulphur baths, and frequent sweating of the chest, with 
hot, wet cloths, will greatly assist in passing off the fever and 
in restoring circulation, and strength to the chest. Plenty of 
sunlight and outdoor exercise should be indulged in, all of 
this time, which means several months. The cancer should be 
ignored entirely. In most cases if this diet, exercise and 
breathing is kept up as long as it has taken the cancer to form, 
there will be nothing more to do, for it will disappear as silent- 
ly and surely as it came. If, however, after several months of 
preparation, and gaining of strength, and vivifying the section 
afflicted by physical exercise, breathing exercises, etc., it is 
deemed expedient to assist nature in the removal, a surgeon 
may be called who should lance the cancer, open it up slightly, 
and then it should be poulticed with slippery elm, flax seed or 






THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 117 

some softening and Harmless application, which, will gradually 
draw it to a head, and remove the same without danger. This 
should be done very slowly, a month is a short time to bring 
such a lump to a head. To prevent children growing up, and 
yet to be born from having such difficulties, feed them as they 
should be fed, and teach them how to vibrate their physical 
organisms by breathing exercises. See lesson on breathing. 

DIAGRAM 27. 

We find the heavenly magnets scattered very evenly 
around the Sun, in the horoscope before us. Saturn in 
Aquarius would, under some combinations, mean heart trouble, 
and a generally nervous condition. But as Venus and Jupiter 
are both in Leo, in strong aspect to the sign Taurus, this bad 
indication of Saturn's position is rendered harmless, and with 
so much that is good from Venus and Jupiter, the general 
health is indicated as very good. 

We find a combination strong upon the Earth, however, 
that is not so pleasant. Neptune is in Aries, in quadrature to 
the Earth and Mercury, and in opposition to Mars. Neptune 
signifies coldness, dampness, and stiffness in the limbs. Mer- 
cury indicates fevers, by aspect to Aries. Mars also intensifies 
the effect of Mercury. Therefore chills and fevers are indi- 
cated very clearly. A fever of some kind must, necessarily, 
culminate the life of a person born under these influences. 

The antidote for conditions of this kind are the things 
themselves; that is to say, when Neptune is strong in aspect, 
cold drinks, and water is best of all, should be freely used, 
outwardly and inwardly. W^hen Mercury, or Mars, comes 
into effect, hot drinks and food is best. Systems of this 
nature require sours extensively in their daily diet.

DIAGRAM 28. 

Saturn in Pisces in conjunction with Neptune and in 
quadrature to the Earth in Sagittarius, indicates a bad condi- 
tion for physical environment. Gemini the house of the 
lungs is being reduced, as well as Virgo the stomach section. 
The stomach being . tardy indicates weak digestion and very 
poor assimilation. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in strong 
aspect to Aries, reveals an appetite that is uncontrolable. 
Mars in Leo, indicates a rather hard nature. Uranus vibrates 
the nervous system in quadrature to Mars, a very bad combi- 
nation upon the heart and emotional nature. In short, reck- 
lessness is clearly indicated, hence, the gratification of the 
physical man in all that the word implies. 

The feverish and cancerous condition of the stomach, will 
meet the same condition in the lungs, and tuberculosis in its 
worst form will surely be produced. 

To illustrate the reason why tuberculosis does not mani- 
fest itself in some cases of consumption, suppose we place 
Venus in Virgo, and note the change thus produced. The 
removal of Venus from an aspect strong with Mercury, Jupi- 
ter and Aries, removes the desire for food and drink, especially 
the latter, as Venus rules fluids, to a great extent, and also 
puts the stomach in excellent condition to handle and digest 
the food. Gemini, therefore, is the only section left in a weak 
condition, a case of this nature would not be nearly so severe, 
but Venus is yielding in nature, and as Mercury indicates low 
vitality and feverish tendencies, the affliction is consumption 
just the same. This last case would be curable, while the for- 
mer would not be, generally speaking. The assimilation of 
the food in this latter case would prevent tuberculosis in most 
cases, and a slower, lingering, trial would be the result, if im- 
properly treated. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 121 

Why is it necessary to make farther explanations con- 
cerning the treatment of diseases, after having repeatedly 
stated that pollution alone is what aggravates and intensifies 
the primal weakness. Food alone will prevent disease, and 
food alone will permanently cure the same. Nature will 
always restore natural conditions if given an opportunity to 
do her work. The healing balm in the air of the natural 
forest is very beneficial, and probably one of the greatest heal- 
ing agencies given by nature for this disease, is balsam, and 
the patient should gather it in the forest and eat it on the spot, 
together with natural fruits, nuts, etc. 

The phlegmatic condition must be cut out and the parts 
healed. This balsam is the best thing known to thus revolu- 
tionize these conditions, and restore strength and harmony. 
It is not a good plan to change climates, but far better to get 
out and use the climate adapted to. The nearest wood where 
spruce, hemlock, balsam and pine are found is the place for 
those who are yet able to get around. Those who are not can 
be surrounded with these natural odors, and the balsam blis- 
ters can be brought in fresh, by stripping the tree of its bark. 
Limbs of hemlock, pine, spruce, cedar, and tamarack should 
surround every patient suffering with consumption, and with 
proper food most cases are curable. 



Following these twenty-four delineations are three horo- 
scopes of the heavenly magnets, corresponding to the respect- 
ive dates of three of the world's most famous, orators, states- 
men, and travelers : Abraham Lincoln, Robert G. Ingersoll, 
and George Francis Train. As these characters are well 
known there is nothing new to be said about them, but certain

magnetic reasons for their greatness will be interesting in 
connection with this work. Therefore the magnetic law of 
their dates is given. 



DIAGRAM 29. 

ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 



The above calculation shows us the magnetic forces of 
the planets when Abraham Lincoln was stamped as an in- 
dividual magnet, destined to become the head of this great 
nation. We find Mercury was the ruling magnet both physi- 
cal and mental at a very high pressure. Venus ruled high 
also, and Jupiter run high in physical power, and being on the 
line of Aries and Pisces he was in a powerful position to draw 
all forces to him. Hence the mental power to lead and con- 
trol, so ably manifested by this noble character. Mars in 
opposition, indicated leadership also, being on the line between 
Virgo and Libra. Mercury, Saturn and Uranus quadrating 
the Earth, and Leo, the heart sign, also indicates a nerve that 
is hard to battle with, and a dangerous character to cope with 
in battle or in anything else. Venus in opposition to Neptune 
also strong upon the Earth, shows friendly relations with dis- 
tant nations and people. The Earth being in Leo indicates a 
very emotional nature, and Uranus in quadrature, signifies 
spirituality, but the heart is afflicted by Saturn, Uranus and 
Mercury, hence a very nervous and excitable, and irritable 
constitution. The planets are evenly balanced about the Sun 
and they are all in strong aspects to each other. Therefore a 
strong character is indicated. The two red war gods, Mars 
and Jupiter, both being on meridians, indicate leadership, and 
Mercury, Saturn and Uranus indicate heart affliction. There- 
fore, sudden death was natural to this character. Heart disease 



124 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

would probably Have terminated the life bad be been spared 
longer. 

Mr. Lincoln was not an orator, or very much of a speech 
maker, he lacked that verbal expression so characteristic of 
Mr. Ingersoll. Geo. Francis Train, even has more logical 
utterances than Mr. Lincoln, yet he has much less fluency 
than the Colonel. Jupiter being on the line between the 
positive pole, or sign Aries, which represents the head, and 
Pisces the negative pole of the feet, may, or may not have had 
something to do with the length of Mr. Lincoln's framework. 
The fact remains, however, that Jupiter is a powerful magnet 
and is in most potent position for leadership that is possible 
for him to be. 

DIAGRAM 30. 

GEO. FRANCIS TRAIN. 



[Mr. Train kindly gave me the date of his birth at the Palmer House, Chicago, 
on the occasion of a private meeting with a number of Magi Mystics, when four 
hours passed as a minute, so interesting was the conversation.] 



We find the Earth has just entered Libra, and as Libra is 
in strong aspect to Aries, the perception is very keen, con- 
cerning physical things. Libra being the physical sign. 
Saturn and Neptune are exactly opposite each other and in 
quadrature to the Earth, and the sign Aries. Therefore, 
Saturn and Neptune evenly balance the mind. It will be 
noticed in this horoscope, the same as in Mr. Lincoln's, that 
the planets are all in powerful aspect to each other. None 
weak, and alone. This always indicates strong forceful 
characters. Saturn has been in Libra for two years, 1892 and 
1893. When Saturn crossed the line leading into Libra, Mr. 
Train opened his mouth with speech. He had been silent for 
several years.

This proves conclusively that Saturn governs the speech 
of Mr. Train. So we must expect that when Saturn enters 
Scorpio, that Mr. Train will return to the silence, and remain 
until Saturn reaches Capricornus, when another impulse will 
be given, for him to speak. 

Neptune is the magnet that causes people to travel, and as 
he is in quadrature to the Earth and Aries, it is very signifi- 
cant of long journeyings, sea voyages, and business with 
foreign nations. The business is the result of the Earth 
being in Libra, indicating an early business career. Neptune 
quadrates Libra, indicating business under Neptune. Saturn 
and Neptune indicate low vibrations throughout the physical 
organism, therefore, Mr. Train does not feel the chilling 
breezes and damp atmosphere as most people do. 

With these indications before us, we compare the experi- 
ence of Mr. Train, and we find that he has always been at the 
head, he never worked a day for others, but entered business 
for himself at nineteen, and very soon became interested in the 
shipping industry, and done a large business with foreign 
nations. He reached his greatest popularity in 1892 and 1893, 
under the influence of Saturn which came into physical glory, 
in Libra, early in 1892. The world, gave him greater recog- 
nition and became more interested in his prophetic utterances. 

Owing to Uranus and Venus being in weak position and 
aspect, Mr. Train brings everything to the material plane, and 
treats it purely from that standpoint, yet Saturn gives him 
the vision of prophecy.

signifies a spiritual nature. Uranus being the spiritual mag- 
net as already explained. It also means a worker, with nerve 
force, energy, and a desire to work. Jupiter is the physical 
ruler, while Venus is mental ruler. Mercury and Neptune 
are in quadrature to Venus and Jupiter, and also to Mars and 
Saturn, in Libra. Think of this combination of magnetic 
forces polarized in such strong aspects to Aries, the section of 
the brain, with the Earth and Uranus aspecting Leo, the heart 
and emotional section. Jupiter balances Saturn, and Venus 
evens up with Mars, making a brain force that is capable of 
hypnotising an army of ordinary minds. Mercury and Nep- 
tune only quicken and broaden the intellect and give greater 
capacity for research and understanding. Mercury gives 
fluent speech by aspect to Aries, the section of speech, also 
wit and humor. Venus in Aries gives that soft, tender, and 
sympathetic tone to the utterances, while Mars gives accuracy, 
precision and combativeness. Jupiter gives oratory and 
eloquence, Saturn, logic and argument, while Neptune en- 
circles the whole with a halo of grandeur, that captivates the 
mind and soul. We find in the combination of Mercury, 
Venus and Jupiter, the same indication corcerning appetite, 
drink, etc., previously explained, and we do not find any such 
combination in the horoscope of George Francis Train. Ob- 
serve what these two positions or horoscopes signify. In Mr. 
Ingersoll's case, the appetite is very keen, and the desire to . 
gratify the appetite will be very intense. But the danger of 
so doing is greatly lessened by the other magnets operating 
upon the brain, giving a powerful intellect and character. 
Nevertheless the Colonel will have to use more or less will 
force to keep the appetite within bounds. 

In the case of Mr. Train, there never was a very keen 
appetite. Therefore he has long since given up the use of 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 129 

flesh food, and stimulating beverages, and feels that he has won 
a victory over the appetite. The greatest victory is won by 
the person who has the appetite to begin with, and then over- 
comes and puts away these things, as many have done. 

We might search out the living exemplifications of this 
wonderful magnetic law of physical environment for a century, 
and in every instance we would find that greatness is the re- 
sult of a favorable horoscope, while the opposite is found in 
those who are unfavorably blessed with magnetic forces at 
birth. 

There is a quality in soul, in astral development, which 
can only be considered by the soul, or inner consciousness, 
which determines greatness in human life, and which is the 
impelling power in each human organism. It is interesting to 
select from the multitudes we meet, those souls who in the 
past were bred and born, reared, trained and purified in those 
mystical schools of attainment, which flourished in Greece 
and Rome, and produced the wonderful physical beauty, and 
intellectual genius, the records of which stand to-day as a 
monument to their superiority and power. Those who are 
able to see beyond the veil of flesh, recognize those souls who 
passed the crucial test of those times.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. 



Question. — Where is the Earth, in the above horoscope? 

Answer. — In the house or sign of Cancer. 

Q. — In what quarter of the heavens is the sign Cancer 
located ? 

A. — In the second quarter. 

Q. — Why is it called the second quarter? 

A. — Because as we begin to count the degrees of the 
celestial Zodiac with the first degree of Aries, we complete one 
quarter of the circle when we reach Cancer. Hence, the first 
degree of Cancer is the beginning of the second quarter. 
Therefore, we say the Earth is in the second quarter, the 
quarter of wisdom, when in Cancer. 

Q. — What do we mean by the quarter of wisdom ? Why 
is it called the quarter of wisdom ? 

A. — Because while the Earth is passing through this 
quarter, it is the season of winter, the season of intellectual 
pursuits, the season for contemplation, for mental activity, for 
intelligent reasoning, and spiritual attainment. 

Q. — Why is this more possible in this quarter than in 
any other quarter ? 

A. — Because during the other three quarters of the year, 
the physical man is more expressive, and active. Hence there 
is less concentration and research into the deeper and more 
secret realm, where intelligence dwells. 

Q.— What significance does this quarter convey in de- 
lineating a character born here ? 



132 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

A. — It signifies that they are naturally intelligent, and 
are capable of attainment in intellectual pursuits, and that 
they tend in that direction naturally. 

Q. — What is the significance of the sign Cancer in the 
above figure ? 

A. — It shows by quadratic aspect to the sign Aries, that a 
person born at the time will be very active mentally, quick, 
bright, and clear of perception, and capable of giving utter- 
ance to the thought and feelings, in clear and expressive lan- 
guage. 

Q. — What other conditions, or influences do we find in 
connection with the sign Cancer? 

A. — We find the planet Saturn is in Cancer, in conjunc- 
tion or seventh aspect to the Earth, at 88% of physical, and 
j 2)% of mental power. 

Q. — What is the significance of Saturn in this horoscope ? 

A. — Saturn being in perihelion, and in conj auction with 
the Earth, which is also in perihelion, causes very strong 
magnetic relations, the physical effect of which is very intense. 
This aspect of Saturn, therefore, signifies a character some- 
what inharmonious and discontented ; a character that con- 
tinually yearns for something, and is never quite satisfied with 
anything. But as Saturn is in quadrature to the sign Aries,, 
and the Earth is the same in aspect, Saturn signifies a yearn- 
ing for knowledge, for spiritual enlightenment ; a tenacious 
and determined mind and will ; one which will debate, argue, 
and question. 

Q. — What other physical influence is indicated by Saturn? 

A. — Saturn being in strong aspect to Aries, the head, 
will cause feverish, and nervous conditions ; and being also in 
quadrature to Libra, the bowels are afflicted, and a constipated 
condition will be the result. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 133 

Q. — As Saturn is in Cancer, in such strong magnetic re- 
lation to the Earth, does it not indicate cancerous afflictions ? 

A. — No. Because Saturn is a large magnet, hence is 
drawing the forces from all the other planets towards'him, and 
their combined forces make a strong constitution, when Saturn 
is in vital signs, or the mental signs. 

Q. — Which is the ruling planet in this horoscope ? 

A. — Jupiter is the physical ruler, and Mercury is the 
mental ruler. 

Q. — Why is Jupiter the physical ruler? 

A. — Because the power of Jupiter is higher than that of 
any other planet in its physical relation to the Earth. 

Q. — As Jupiter is in Aries, the sign of the head, why is he 
not the mental ruler, also ? 

A. — Because Jupiter does not produce so marked an effect 
upon the mental activities, as does the planet Mercury, and as 
Mercury is in opposition aspect to the sign Aries, Mercury is 
the mental ruler because highest in mental effect. 

Q. — What is the significance of Jupiter in this reading? 

A. — Jupiter being in Aries, the sign of the head and 
brains, produces a strong mind, a powerful brain, and a healthy 
and harmonious mental nature; great capacity for mental 
labors is the chief result of Jupiter's position and aspect. 

Q. — What is the effect of the planet Jupiter in connection 
with the planet Saturn in this combination ? 

A. — Jupiter gives mental power, harmony, and evenness 
of expression. Saturn is a disturbing force, but very power- 
ful and tenacious in nature. The two show great force of 
mind and character, and they combine and make a condition 
that qualifies people from the beginning to take the lead 
in affairs of the world, especially the intellectual world. 



134 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

Q. — What planet comes next in physical power, and 
what does it portend ? 

A. — Venns is the second planet in physical effect, and 
rules in this combination at 88%, in her perihelion house Leo. 
She is in third position or juxtaposition to the Earth, there- 
fore she is weak in aspect. But being in Leo, the house of 
the heart, and in quadrature to the sign Taurus, which in- 
cludes the nervous system, the physical effect of Venus is very 
important in this calculation, for the nervous system, the cir- 
culation of the blood, and the physical body generally is made 
harmonious and healthy. The mental effect is low, hence the 
expressions of persons born under these percentages of mag- 
netic forces, will be somewhat blunt and harsh, as Venus 
is out of aspect to Aries. The affections will be general, and 
universal, and never centered very intensely upon one person. 
This is because Venn's is weak in aspect to the Earth. 

Q. — We find Mars weak in aspect, being in third position 
or bi-quadrature, yet high in percentage of power. Why is 
this? 

A. — Because Mars rules the alimenta^ canals leading to 
the stomach, and also the windpipe which leads to the lungs, 
and as Mars is in the perihelion section of his orbit in very 
strong aspect to Virgo, the stomach section, and Gemini the 
lung section, the physical effect is high. The mental effect 
however, of Mars is very weak owing to the weak aspect to 
Aries. Therefore, the combative characteristic produced by 
Mars, is very weak. The mental quality of Mars, which in- 
cludes mathematics, system, and accuracy, will be lacking in 
persons born on this date. 

Q. — What is the significance of Mercury in the calcula- 
tion? 

A. — The physical effect of Mercury is feverish in nature, 



THE LAW A^D THE PROPHETS. 135 

on account of being in strong aspect to Aries, the sign of fire, 
and being in quadrature to Saturn will conflict more or less 
with that planet in circulating the blood. But Jupiter will 
offset Saturn and the result will be generally a good balance. 
Mercury, therefore, will cause hot flashes, and light fevers, of 
short duration. The skin will be somewhat tough as a result. 
The mental effect is very marked, as Mercury is the men- 
tal ruler. This indicates a quick, active brain, clear percep- 
tion, and highly developed intuition. Also fluent speech, 
and ready wit. The influence of Mercury makes this one of 
the best combinations for mental achievement that could be 
desired. 

Q. — How does the planet Uranus influence this combina- 
tion? 

A. — Uranus is the planet of nerve force, energ}^, labor, 
science, religion, and spirituality, and is in the house of Tau- 
rus, the section of the nervous and muscular system. The 
physical effect of which is to cause a person born on this date 
to work energetically and continually. The mental percent- 
age being weak, this magnet does not effect the spiritual na- 
ture to any great extent, in this calculation. Venus being in 
Leo, in quadrature, harmonizes the rigid tendencies of Uranus, 
making a favorable combination of magnetic vibrations for a 
good physical balance. 

Q. — Delineate the planet Neptune in connection with this 
date and aspect. 

A. — Neptune is the planet that gives people the desire to 
travel, to reach out, to change, and enlarge the possessions, 
both material and mental. But being weak in aspect to the 
Earth, the effect is slight. Hence, these characters will not 
care to travel, except to carry on their labors, and intellectual 
pursuits. As Neptune is in quadratic aspect to the lung sec- 



136 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

tion, persons born at this time will be subject to chills in the 
back and shoulders, and will take cold easily. 

Q. — What bearing does the Moon, which is nearing the 
last quarter, have upon persons born at this time ? 

A. — The Moon simply indicates the polarization of the 
physical expression. That is to say, in expressing the feel- 
ings and emotions, these characters need to cultivate the mind, 
the will, in order to hold the physical feelings and emotions 
where they belong, when giving utterance to their views. 

Q. — Why is this so? 

A. — Because the Moon is polarized in a section below the 
solar plexus, and has a tendency to draw the mind, the 
thought, the positive principle, the force and energy, toward 
its polar center, requiring a higher soul force and intellectual 
power to change, convert, or connect this principle with the 
forces produced by the other magnets in their relation to the 
sign Aries, the section of expression, speech, intelligence and 
positiveness. 

Q. — What would be the effect if the Moon was in its new 
phase ? 

A. — As the planets, Earth, Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter, 
are polarized to the positive sign Aries, if the Moon was also 
in its new phase, it too would be polarized to the same point, 
hence a most positive condition for mental expression would 
be the result. 

Q. — After considering all of the forces and aspects in this 
horoscope, what is the most important indication of disease ? 

A. — As Mercury and Saturn are the principal magnets 
which must be figured on in physical disturbances, we find 
that Saturn is in strong aspect to the sign Libra, which in- 
cludes the bowels, and indicates slow action, and in conse- 
quence a feverish condition, which is greatly intensified by 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 137 

Mercury. Therefore, the conclusion is that constipation will 
result, and will be the primal cause of physical disturbances. 
As Jupiter is also in strong aspect to Libra, the bad effect of 
Mercury and Saturn is greatly lessened, so the bowel difficulty 
will not be serious. But as Jupiter rules the muscles, the 
affliction of Jupiter by the aforesaid influence means rheumatic 
difficulties, and twitching of the muscles of the lower limbs, 
caused by Saturn drawing the forces of Jupiter and Mercury 
toward the sign Cancer, leaving the muscular sign Capricornus 
negative or without positive polarized force. 

Q. — What shouldbedone to prevent difficulties of this kind? 

A. — Mercury being in strong aspect to Aries, the sign 
which signifies speech, desire, appetite, indicates that these per- 
sons will have very intense and keen appetites. They will 
like rich food, and good things generally, all of which lands 
in the stomach, at first. Mars, the fiery planet, is operating 
upon the stomach. Neptune, just the opposite in effect, also. 
The two are causing agitation there, and the food passes into 
the bowels inharmoniously charged, where the natural fever- 
ish condition awaits it. The intense appetite overloads the 
stomach. Hence, the absolute necessity of controlling the 
appetite, and eating to live. Neptune being a cold, damp mag- 
net, shows that fruits would be pleasing to the stomach, hence 
their adaptability as food in this case. Mars, the fire planet, 
indicates warm food, as being good for the stomach, but as the 
two do not blend, these characters must eat one meal under 
Neptune and then one under Mars. That is, eat their Nep- 
tune meals, and Mars meals at different times. Never mix 
them. The diet heretofore explained in this work, is here 
shown to be the best in this case, as sours are needed often. 

Q. — What are the business qualifications of these charac- 
ters? 



138 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

A. — Mercury is in the physical center or house of busi- 
ness, and being a quick and active magnet, will call them into 
business life early, and they will become competent in business 
matters readily, and do well financially. But after middle life 
they will be drawn by Jupiter and Saturn, which act very 
much slower, into the realm of the intellectual in life, and they 
will not care so much for business pursuits. They will make 
money quick and easy, and although capable business charac- 
ters, and natural merchants, they are best adapted to the legal 
and medical professions. They will make excellent teachers, 
preachers, and lecturers, all of which is the result of Mercury, 
Jupiter, Saturn and the Earth being strongly polarized to 
Aries. The mighty Jupiter being in that sign holds and fixes 
the combination strong and powerful in the head and brain.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. 

Question.— In what honse is the Earth located in the 
foregoing wheel of destiny? 

Answer. — The Earth is in the sign Pisces, in conjunc- 
tion with the planet Neptune. 

Q. — What is the significance of the sign Pisces? 

A. — Pisces is the negative sign in the quarter of labor, 
and also the negative sign in the celestial circle, hence, the 
Earth is in her most negative position while in this section 
of her orbit. This shows a strong polarization of the positive 
forces towards the feet, and causes persons born at this time to 
be active on the feet, and most always standing or walking if 
able to be about. This sign indicates a good understanding of 
things material. 

Q. — What is the meaning of the planet Neptune in con- 
junction with the Earth in this house of Pisces? 

A. — Neptune being the magnet which gives one a desire 
to travel, intensifies the sign effect, and the result is a mag- 
netic condition adapted to traveling over the Earth, especially 
by land. 

Q.— Why by land? 

A. — Because Pisces is the most negative house, ana rep- 
resents negative conditions, and as land is more negative than 
water, the desires will be for land traveling, instead of by 
water. When Neptune is in Acquarius or in aspect thereto, 
the desire will be to travel by water. 

Q. — Will persons born at this time ever travel by water? 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 141 

A. — Persons born at anytime are liable to travel by water? 
but the above answer shows what the natural uncultivated de- 
sire will be of those born under the combination. 

Q. — Name the ruling planets in this horoscope. 

A. — Jupiter is the physical ruler at 72% of power, and 
Venus is the mental ruler at 67%. 

Q. — Give a full, clear delineation of the planet Jupiter, in 
connection with this reading. 

A. — Jupiter is in the sign Aquarius in third aspect, or 
juxtaposition to the Earth, and in the vital physical quadrate 
of the sectional divisions in the nature of our solar system, 
and in the anatomy of man. Taurus represents the nervous 
and muscular centers of the system, hence, Jupiter gives 
strength and power in moderate degree, from his position in 
Aquarius. The heart sign is more strongly influenced by 
opposition aspect, which shows muscular strength and 
healthy action in those parts, which include the heart. 
Jupiter being in Aquarius, draws all the other forces 
toward that sign, hence, great capacity for labor is indicated by 
the single influence of this magnet. The aspect to the Earth 
and the sign Aries is weak, therefore the mind is operated 
upon but little, as is shown by the low mental force which is 
only 34%. This is an indication of a weak mind, with very 
little will power, and no ambition. Persons thus influenced 
by Jupiter are easy going, somewhat careless, and negligent, 
and inclined to be lazy. 

Q. — What planets come next in general effect, and what 
bearing do they have in this combination? 

A. — Saturn and Venus are the most important in physical 
effects, but Saturn being in strongest aspect to the Earth is 
considered the most important of the two in this delineation. 
Saturn is in quadrature to the Earth, and in opposition to 



142 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

the house of the lungs, which is a very vital sign when 
aspected by Saturn, and as Neptune is in conjunction with the 
Earth, the effect of Neptune upon the lung section is also very 
strong. The combined forces of Saturn and Neptune aspected 
so strongly upon the Earth, and the sign Gemini, indicate 
great danger to the lung section. 

Q. — What is the nature of this dangerous indication, and 
how will these two forces operate to cause trouble? 

A. — Neptune is a cold, damp, phlegmatic magnet, which 
will greatly lower the vibrations of the lung section in persons 
horn under this combination, and produce a condition easily 
aggravated by other influences. Saturn is the magnet that 
also causes low vibration and circulation, also stricture of the 
arteries and veins, the effect of which will be retarded circula- 
tion, and lodgement of the impurities of the blood in this weak 
portion of the system. 

Q.— What disease will this be likely to produce? 

A. — Consumption. 

Q. — Is there no counteracting force that will relieve this 
bad effect of Saturn and Neptune? 

A. — Venus will modify the nature of the disease thus 
produced, by her aspect to the sign Aries, which will relieve 
persons suffering from this ailment, of fevers. The positive 
pole, the brain, will have a harmonious circulation through it, 
creating harmony instead of fever. 

Q. — What other influence does Venus have? 

A. — Venus polarized to the brain, to Aries, the sign of 
expression, indicates tender and sympathetic utterances, but 
being the mental ruler, she shows us a character easily in- 
fluenced and led. Not strong in mental force, nor high in 
intellect. 

Q. — We find Uranus, higher in power than Saturn, being 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 143 

equal to Venus. Why do you not take them up for consider- 
ation in their regular order? 

A.— The question was, " What planets come next in 
general effect," and as Saturn is the most important magnet in 
this case, it was delineated. 

Q. — Delineate the planet Uranus. 

A. — Uranus is the ruler of the nervous system and is lo- 
cated in the sign Taurus, which is the section of the nerve 
centers. The force of Uranus is therefore upon the energies, 
the physical powers, and being in quadrature to Jupiter, unites 
with him in producing the qualities necessary to a life of trial, 
and labor. The aspect to the Earth, however, is weak, and the 
result of these energizing forces is slight. Uranus is weak 
mentally, so the general effect of Uranus is far below that of 
Saturn or Venus. Uranus indicates a somewhat nervous tem- 
perament, intensified by Mercury in opposition, but slightly 
modified by Jupiter. 

Q. — What is the mental effect of Mars? 

A. — Mars has very little positive mental effect, owing 
to the negative position he occupies in Virgo, the farthest 
point reached in aphelion. The aspect to the Earth is strong, 
and the combination of inharmonious vibrations resulting from 
Neptune in opposition, and Saturn in quadrature, indicate a 
very disagreeable character to operate with in case of sickness, 
and a generally bad nature to get along with when well, or 
apparently so. Mars will give such persons a desire to practice 
medicine, but Neptuue will keep them unsettled, and they 
will spend a large portion of their time seeking climate, and 
treatment for their ills. 

Q. — What particular effect, if any, does Mars have upon 
the physical structure of persons born at this time? 

A. — Mars is co-ordinated to the alimentary canal and 



144 THE LAW AXD THE PROPHETS. 

orifices of the body, and being polarized to Virgo, the section 
of the stomach, there will be an intense craving for material 
substances in the shape of food, far beyond the needs of the 
system. Venus in aspect to Aries indicates that this craving 
will be for sweets, largely, which will result in a general firing 
up of the entire system. 

Q. — Mercury is the last planet to be considered, and is 
the lowest in physical power, what does this magnet signify? 

A. — Mercury is in Scorpio in quadrature to the sign Leo, 
the sign of the heart and blood. Mercury rules the blood and 
circulation, but as Mercury is very weak, only 425?, the 
vitality, the activity, the capacity to do, and think, and speak, 
is negative, and without force. Hence, the circulation is 
easily interfered with. The nervous temperament is intensi- 
fied somewhat by Mercury in aspect to Taurus, therefore, the 
general indication ef Mercury is, that on account of the lack 
of vitality, the aforesaid bad combinations have a greater op- 
portunity to depress the system and bring on physical disturb- 
ances. 

Q. — Has the Moon any particular significance in connec- 
tion with the planets in this reading? 

A. — The Moon is in her new phase, hence the physical 
polarization is toward the positive or mental nature, which will 
intensify the Venus expressions and make more feminine the 
voice and gestures. The physical effect is bad, on account of 
the strong aspect with Saturn. 

Q. — It has been found that these characters are subject to 
consumption. Is there any way to prevent such a calamity, 
and is there any mode of treatment which will restore those 
already partially consumed by this malady? 

A. — The nature of the case before us, is one that is sel- 
dom treated with any success, for the mind is weak, mulish, 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 145 

and hard to urge into usefulness; and although such minds are 
easily led, generally, they are all the more stubborn when 
urged to do the thing necessary to their relief, and they cannot 
be led away from their appetites. Persons afflicted and par- 
tially consumed by this disease, therefore, are very hard to 
handle, if magnetically stamped at birth with this combina- 
tion of forces. But if a child is properly understood, and the 
law of its being fully explained at birth, it is an easy matter 
to prepare them for a healthy expression, and a generally 
useful life. 

Q. — How would you proceed to train a child born under 
this horoscope of the heavens? 

A. — Appetites are cultivated, principally, and as this 
combination indicates a desire for sweet food, I would gratify 
that natural desire by supplying food of that nature which is 
given us by nature, in a natural way. Such as dates, figs, 
fruits and nuts. These will produce a beneficial result, while 
confectionery, and all mixtures, including cake, pie, dough- 
nuts, dressings, puddings, gravys, etc., which these appetites 
will crave, after being fed on them for a very short time, I 
should never allow them to even taste of. And as soon as 
they arrived at an age when they could be taught the effect of 
such mixtures I would so impress upon the mind the danger 
of such compounds, that they would never forget it, and with 
continued lessons in the laws of health and calesthenics, the 
lungs would never get clogged, they would never be coated and 
fired up by a mess of pollution, the nature of which is more 
develish than the lava of Dantes Seventh Hell, and which is 
the intensifying substance that culminates in the destruction 
of a section low in action and vitality, but not dangerously so 
unless aggravated, prodded, abused and neglected, until ex- 
hausted. 



146 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

Q. — Would these persons be obliged to live all through 
their lives on the food mentioned? 

A. — No. Not by any means. The diet mentioned else- 
where in this work, for those who are suffering from this 
malady, will protect a person through life from this disease. 
The sweets mentioned were to be used to gratify the natural 
desire for sweet food. 

Q. — What are these characters best adapted for in the 
business world? 

A. — If properly trained they would make good travelers, 
surveyors, and would have a tendency toward the medical 
.practice, but would not meet with success. They would not 
be leaders in any line, and wealth would not be made by their 
efforts. Characters of this nature left to the mercy of an ig- 
norant parentage, would drift from place to place and wind up 
their earthly existence by succumbing to this dread affliction, 
consumption.

understanding of the principles, and fixed laws of being, as 
already set forth. It is far better to be able to answer such 
questions from an understanding of the fixed principles, than 
from an understanding of set terms, and phrases, stereotyped 
for the purpose. 



150 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

PHYSICAL LIFE. 



Physical life originates from a fluid. By trie circulation 
of fluids, physical bodies are formed, increased and supported. 
One of these life-giving circulating fluids, is the blood. 

The body is constantly subject to two distinct processes, 
viz: decomposition and re-organization. Re-organization is 
affected by the blood, which, flowing from the heart through 
the arteries, supplies the waste of the system, by restoring de- 
cayed parts. The blood in its return to the heart through the 
veins, brings with it those particles which have become dele- 
terious through decomposition. The thinest portion of these 
deleterious particles pass from the body through the skin in 
the shape of perspiration; but the grosser particles, that is the 
more densely related particles, are discharged through the ex- 
cretaries into the bowels. A want of proper action in these 
natural drains, is the primary physical cause of all diseases; 
the first physical symptom. If the natural outlets are closed, 
the decayed particles or morbid humors must either be re- 
tained in the blood, or laid down somewhere within the body. 
The particular kind of disease which shall ensue, depends 
altogether on the part wherein these morbid humors may 
finally be lodged. The same humor, which when lodged in the 
liver, causes bilious complaints, would, if lodged in the lungs, 
cause consumption, or, if in the membrane and muscles, rheu- 
matism. 

Hence, the magnetic forces charging a human organism 
at birth determine where the circulation, activity, and harmony, 
is lacking, and it is in that part of the system thus afflicted 
that the decaying particles will surely lodge. Therefore, the 
stars cause the vibrations of our bodies, and by the stars, and 
by the stars alone, can we diagnose diseases correctly. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 151 

CAUSE OF DISEASES. 



There is but one cause for the diseases afflicting the hu- 
man family, and that is pollution. There is but one cause for 
the manifestation resulting from pollution, and that is the 
action of planetary forces which stamps the human organism 
with the universal stamp at the time of birth, causing different 
degrees of activity and circulation, in different parts of the sys- 
tem. The affliction or slow action in vital parts causes them 
to be more dangerously affected by the pollution above men- 
tioned, than those regions more remote. 

What is pollution? — Pollution is an excess of negative 
matter taken into the system as food, in combinations and 
mixtures, incompatible with each other 

What is negative matter? — Negative matter is food 
without positive element, life or force. 

What do we mean? — We mean that raised bread, cakes, 
pie, doughnuts, crackers, biscuits, puddings, beef, pork, mut- 
ton, foul, game, fish, and every animal carcass, is negative 
matter from which pollution alone is the result. 

Why are these things negative? — Simply because the 
positive or life element has been removed, destroyed or cast out. 
Take the human organism, something that will bring it home 
close. When the spirit leaves the body the positive principle 
is gone, and the negative only remains, and such a mess of 
pollution is hard to describe. 

Shall we starve? — Yes, that is to say, starve out the 
the pollution or suffer. 

What shall we EAT? — Food that has positive force 
latent within it, such as potatoes, for instance, they have life, 
and even when cut in many pieces will sprout and grow and re- 
produce their kind; food from the vegetable kingdom can 



152 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

be taken into the system with more or less of the positive forces 
they contain. Nnts and fruits in their natural state, eggs also, 
have positive force. I feel that some will be saying in their 
mind, these also have negative substances, which we also take. 
True. The negative and positive are both taken, but the 
great point is to take both, instead of casting out the positive, 
and taking the negative alone. The great desideratum is to 
balance the system. Balance, even balance, is what we should 
have, in all things. If these are facts, and no one will know 
except through experience, they cannot be told. The next 
thing to be considered is quantity, kind and combinations of 
such foods as are good for the system. We all eat too much, 
and thus weaken or overtax our powers of assimilation. We 
are all environed differently, hence the necessity for variety, 
and difference in quantity. In the following pages numerous 
formula are given of various kinds of food, in quantities 
adapted to different organisms, also courses of diet, for re- 
lieving persons suffering from different causes. A strict ad- 
herence to the rules and formulas laid down, will more than 
produce the results herein suggested. 



HOW TO EAT. 



Breakfast.— Omitting the blessing, for reasons which 
will be explained later, we turn our attention to the evolutions 
in fruit. Fruit is the best kind of food with which to break a 
fast, therefore the morning meal should be largely from this 
class of food. Fruits furnish fluids to the system, and as the 
fluids of the system are the life elements, after a meal from 
fruits the system is in excellent condition for a free circulation 
of the life forces, the expansion of the astral man, as it were, 
and one is fitted to labor and fulfill the duties of the day, 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 153 

which should be finished by 12 m. The morning meal should 
be made up from the fruits in season. When berries are ripe, 
eat berries, and when cherries are ripe, eat cherries, and so on 
through the season. In the winter the apple is king. The 
quantity of fruit necessary to be taken at one time depends 
entirely upon the nature of the person taking the food, and 
upon the labor, physical, or mental requirements up to the 
hour of 12 M. A general table of quantities is given below. 

Natural food for breakfast. — One ordinary apple, 
one-half pound of grapes, one-quarter pound of cherries, 
berries or plums, one or two good pears, two peaches, one 
orange, one banana, half a pound of raisins with figs. Melons 
in season. 

Any one of the above is sufficient for people who do not 
perform physical labor, no matter who they are. I have 
tested them for years both from choice, and necessity, and I 
know I am right when I say the amounts named are sufficient 
and abundant for strength and health. 

The above amounts may be increased by those who do 
physical labor, even to double the amount if necessary, as 
many times is the case with those who labor, causing the sys- 
tem to throw off fluids freely through the pores, in perspira- 
tion. The fact that such food can be easily digested, assimi- 
lated and thrown off, is the very reason it is best to take into 
the system before performing physical or even mental labor. 

Think when you are eating. — Consider the wonderful 
production before you, ask from whence it came, and by what 
means it has been brought to its present wonderful beauty and 
perfection. Talk to the food before you, in your mind, and 
you will find that through the greatest kindness, care, pro- 
tection, admiration and love, it has been evolved and lifted 
into a condition of harmony suitable to be incorporated into the 



154 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

elements composing the grandest strnctnre npon the globe, 
man. 

What do we eat for? — This question should ever be in 
mind when food is taken into the system. Is it because we 
like the feeling on the end of our tongue, the tickling of the 
palate, the stretching of the stomach, and clogging of the 
bowels that we gorge ourselves, and then rnsh for a pipe or 
take a chew of tobacco, in order to aid digestion and get more 
tongue and palate tickle? Is it tickle alone we are seeking? 

WE should eat To live. — And those of the Orient, who 
were able to prolong their lives to several hundred years, done 
so through a system of diet, from which the positive elements 
and forces alone were transmuted, thus adding strength and 
power to the system from day to day. 

Dinner. — We have now completed the days labor, that is 
to say, we should do* all labor from 8 to 12. This is not the 
practice at the present time, but it will be the practice in com- 
ing time. The Sun is at high meridian, let us pray. Why 
pray? Because the Sun is at high meridian, and it is the only 
time to pray and expect the best results, and all should do 
this before they dine. What has the Sun got to do with 
our prayers? Bvery thing to do with them, as no person can 
pray and receive benefit except through the Sun, and every 
theologian, every religious worshipper, and every person on the 
globe to-day, that doubles themselves in what they term an 
attitude of prayer, do so because they don't know any better, 
therefore, are not to be blamed. Many are sincere and honest, 
many are not. 

So LET US pray. — And how shall we pray? No one is 
qualified to pray unless they know how, and why they do so, 
and are so situated that it is possible to do so scientifically and 
intelligently. I lived thirty-five years before I ever bowed my 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 155 

head in prayer, during those years I learned how, I reasoned 
out the meaning of prayer, and I went at it the first time in- 
telligently and fearlessly, and found that it was good for me, 
and good for every one, so I decided to illustrate it in this 
work, so that all who need the uplifting and beneficial influ- 
ence of prayer, can drink at the central fountain and realize 
on the spot that their supplication has been taken notice of 
and answered, by the great ruler of our system. At the base 
of the brain at the back of the head and neck is located the 
central station of the nervous system, (see explanations of the 
sign Taurus) being the center of the nervous system it is the 
most sensitive spot, physically, of the system. Whenever any- 
thing afflicts this section, whether planetary influence or the 
influence of the immediate surroundings, such for instance, as 
the weather, or the dampness of a room in which one is some- 
times placed, or a draft from a window, this vital center be- 
comes inactive to a degree, and a physical disturbance is pro- 
duced. This being the case, the protection of these parts on all 
occasions is necessary. Hence, the covering of the same with 
clothing, first by nature, with long hair, secondly, or later, by 
the substitution or partial substitute of clothing, leaving suffi- 
cient opening or nakedness to jeopardize the health, however. 
But to protect these parts clothing is used to keep the parts 
warm, for by keeping them at a certain temperature the nerves 
are in a condition to respond to the mind and will, and vivify 
and make possible the expression of thought. This being the 
case, how can we pray so as to receive strength and benefit 
from the Sun.

PRAYER ILLUSTRATED. 



At high meridian the Sun is at its Highest point over 
head and the rays of light come more direct to the side of the 
Earth nearest the Sun, than at any other time during its 
revolution upon its axis, producing a stronger and more posi- 
tive force to penetrate into, and vivify physical bodies. At 
such times, by standing or kneeling as is most convenient, 
bowing the head slightly to shade the eyes, and to form an 
angle so that the rays from the Sun will strike directly on the 
top and back part of the head, neck, and down the spinal col- 
umn. The warming and vivifying rays direct from the center 
of our solar system and from such a strong and powerful mag- 
net as the Sun, which is nearly 900,000 miles in diameter, 
pulsating through 95,000,000 miles of ether at the rate of 
186,000 miles per second, have an effect upon the physical 
constitution of man, that all should experience and understand. 
The foregoing diagram shows the rays of the Sun at high 
meridian with the Earth and man in position for prayer, also 
shows the angle of the Sun's rays at morning and evening. 
Hence, the necessity of bowing the head to the ground at such 
times in order to receive the most benefit. This may explain 
to the unprejudiced some of the so-called heathen customs of 
the Sun worshippers of old. Some may argue that it is best 
to stand with the back to the Sun, and also ask why it is 
necessary to fold the hands and raise them before the face as 
shown in cut. The reason is reasonable and scientific. If one 



158 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

goes to a concert they wish to face the music, they can receive 
the vibrations better; they are in a natural position to receive 
something. The same with prayer. Through the hands and 
the fingers we give out most of our strength. Magnetism, as 
it is called. During the labor of the day the blood is actively 
operating through the arms and hands. We are giving off 
strength and power then. When the work is done and the 
strength has been reduced, before partaking of the mid-day 
meal we should renew our forces, calm and pacify our nervous 
system. So in prayer the hands should be raised, allowing 
the blood to settle back, return to the heart, and other parts, 
and by placing the hands, or better still, the palms and fingers 
together, the outgoing currents of magnetism are connected 
and mostly retained in the body. So that by fulfilling all of 
the requirements suggested herein the very best receptive and 
negative condition .is produced, in which great good, both 
physical and mental may come. 

What shall we say? — This seems to be the next ques- 
tion that comes up. As all this praying is purely a physical 
manifestation and pertains to the anatomy of man, it is best to 
keep the mouth closed, for we give off force and power by talk- 
ing. In place of saying something, think over your physical 
body and find any weak places that may exist, concentrate 
upon that weakness, and the vivifying influence may be more 
intensely exerted upon those parts, raising the vibratory ac- 
tivities, and intensifying the life therein. 

Is THIS THE only way TO pray. — There is one other way, 
and it has been explained, and definitely stated, and repeatedlv 
stated. It is only necessary to call attention to the sayings of 
Jesus. Retire into your closet, and in silence commune with 
the holy spirit. This is spiritual communion in reality, and 
like physical prayer should be silent, without speech. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 159 

Thought, desire, receptivity, and soul recognition alone are 
required, in either case. Every invalid will be greatly bene- 
fitted by a half hour prayer of either kind. Both should be 
indulged in by those who are heavy laden, and are seeking 
rest, and an altar of prayer should be upon every house-top, 
for the worship of the Sun. 

Having made ready for the mid-day meal, we will explain 
what is best to take into the system at such a time. It is the 
warmest part of the day, the system has been warmed by the 
forenoon labor, (or should have been) the noon-day prayer has 
also warmed and vivified the system. As the law of affinity pro- 
duces harmony, why should we not continue this harmonious 
blending and eat a good warm meal. The mid-day meal should 
be warm, and the products of the field and garden, the foods to 
be softened by fire, to render them palatable. The potato is 
king of the vegetable kingdom, the beet, parsnip, turnip, 
squash, cabbage, carrot, etc., etc., come along in their order, 
and in preparing should be steamed or baked, for best results; 
because by steaming they are surrounded on all sides at once 
with heat which holds within all of the finer flavors and juices. 
Vegetable food should be eaten as plain as possible, a little 
salt only is needed. Dressings and stuffings are packey and 
indigestible mixtures, or elements inharmonious^ blended. 
The quantity and kinds to be eaten together, must be regu- 
lated according to expenditure of force, and the following 
amounts may be increased to meet the requirements. 



DINNERS FIT FOR THE GODS. 



One fair sized potato, an ordinary side dish of turnips, 
squash, cabbage or other vegetable, only one at a meal, with 
warm unleavened bread, made by stirring graham flour and cold 
water into a thin batter, with a little salt added if desired, and 



160 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

baked 40 minutes in a hot oven. A little rice may be eaten 
for dessert. This is sufficient. The above is a diet for restor- 
ing health, and if to restore health, why not for general use? 
A FEAST. — Potatoes, parsnips, green peas,unleavened bread 
and baked apples, is a combination for a mid-day meal that a 
king might look upon with pleasure. 

[Note. — Some argue that vegetables contain earthy matter in greater degree 
than fruits and nuts, therefore are unftt lor food. But it seems to me that as the 
entire vegetable product — in present form, as well as nearly all fruits, and nuts, 
are the result of the genius of man, recognizing the universal reward for labor, 
to those who work in the gardens of the gods. For it is by recognizing the Infi- 
nite law and acting harmoniously with it, that it is possible to improve, evolve, 
and perfect any of the natural products of the Earth. The method being harmo- 
nious and in accord with the divine or highest law known, the result of such 
transmutation from the dust, should be good for man. Therefore, I hold that all 
of the products of the earth which nature yields to the hand of man without re- 
sistance, is good for food if used in proper quantities, and at proper times.] 

After the mid-day meal no work or active expression, 
either physical or mental should be entered into, at least for 
an hour or two, until the system has had time to assimilate 
the food. The afternoon should be spent in social recreation, 
and amusement, in exchange of ideas, out among the fields and 
flowers, or if in winter, in the house by the grate. At six the 
evening meal should be eaten, and should consist of nuts and 
dates, which co-ordinate and harmonize beautifully with each 
other and they seem to belong together; soaked wheat may be 
eaten at this time also. One-half pound nuts before cracking, 
or one-quarter pound of meats and one-half pound of dates, is 
sufficient for a meal, or one-half teacup, of soaked wheat and a 
few raisins makes an excellent evening meal, (the amount 
may be increased, same as in other formulas mentioned.) In 
case one is going out in the evening it is better to eat some 
fruit, say an apple, banana, a few grapes, pears, or peaches, 
something to give quick and active expression, but if one is to 
retire at the usual hour, the nuts, etc., first mentioned are best. 

Why? — Because it is the nature of nuts, raisins, cereals 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 161 

and dried fruits, to retire, concentrate, draw in and rest. 
Wheat is able to rest the longest and yet is able to repro- 
duce its kind. On account of their nature they fit the system 
best when resting and inbreathing from the universe, pre- 
paratory for a new days experiences. Fruits are expressive 
and quick, just the opposite of nuts and wheat. Hence, the 
difference in time of using them. Nut meats contain a greater 
proportion of positive life force according to bulk than any 
other food. The cereals come next. The cereals are the best 
for food, generally speaking, because the positive or life element 
responds, expresses many times quicker than that of nuts. 
You place a kernel of wheat in the ground and it bursts forth 
in a few hours, while a nut requires several weeks to make 
ready for expression. They are both excellent food. Wheat 
being the king of all products for generating life, force, power, 
strength, health and harmony in human organisms, we place 
it at the head as king; and the best way to prepare wheat for 
the quickest and best results is to soak it in clear water for 
ten hours. It should then be eaten raw. Eaten slowly and 
thoroughly masticated. The effect of wheat thus prepared and 
eaten, has the same effect, apparently, in giving power, strength, 
mind force, etc., that the planet Jupiter has in magnetic effect 
upon physical organisms at birth, showing conclusively that 
wheat is co-ordinated to Jupiter, magnetically. Hence, the 
great mistake has been made by some writers, in considering 
this relationship, that wheat was brought here from the planet 
Jupiter, originally. It is just as reasonable to suppose that 
every human organism strongly influenced by Venus, was 
brought here from that planet. The fact is, all the products 
of the Earth are the result of magnetic or planetary influence, 
and every plant and tree, as well as every species of animal, 
have ruling planets, or magnets, the same as human organisms.

DIAGRAM 35 — 

A WORD TO THE SEEKER. 



The symbolism of the Zodiac in its relation to man, (see 
diagram 35 — ) shows how the body is polarized to the spiritual, 
mental and physical significations of the houses. For in- 
stance, note the position of the organism during formation, as 
shown in diagram 4, all above the solar plexus is on the men- 
tal side, then observe that the feet and limbs remain the same, 
symbolically, and the balance of the figure straightens up, 
throwing, the entire frame upon the physical side of the 
Zodiac. This places the head of the physical man at Libra, 
the physical sign, showing that the physical expression must 
come first, to all. 

The majority of the human race never get back on to the 
mental side of the scale, but live upon the physical plane 
through life. Some, however, seek a higher realm, and to 
such this lesson is given. 

When the few get tired of physical experiences, and seek 
to know something of the deeper realities of their natures they 
reach out toward the mental and spiritual side of life. In 
doing this the}^ become meek and lowly. They bow the 
head as if in prayer. They yearn for something. They seek. 
As they bow the head in a passive, negative, humble manner, 
the brain crosses the upper celestial meridian symbolically, 
and enters the sign Virgo. The brain receives this vibration 
and it dawns upon the intellect that virtue is the first requi- 
site necessary to attainment. 



164 THE LAW AND THE PBOPHETS. 

The planets move from trie mental signs to the right, 
passing into the physical sign at Libra, so the seeker mnst 
remember that in order to attain power it is necessary to look 
np the stream and travel contrary to the natural physical ten- 
dencies. 

Virtue, then seems to be the first and all important re- 
quirement for mental and spiritual attainment. It is the Rock 
of Ages upon which rests the powers of the adept. When 
firmly established upon this rock, powers undreamed of begin 
to develope, and the sign Leo is reached in due time. With 
greater power comes more potent thought, and Cancer signifies 
mental activity and concentration. With these attainments 
come a power for harmony, and the quarter of love, affinity is 
entered into in the sign Gemini. 

This being a quadratic section to the house or sign of 
virtue, the strength is here tested before the sign of 
energy, and power over physical things is entered. If able to 
stand the test, Taurus gives the greatest physical power pos- 
sible. And with this power knowledge comes, and with 
knowledge the sign Aries, the sign of intuition, perception, 
inspiration, and individuality and positiveness is reached. In 
attaining this degree of unfoldment one becomes qualified to 
give utterance from the wisdom of the soul, which vibrates in 
unison with the highest and holiest that the children of Earth 
can know. When one thus attains and closes the circle by 
bringing the positive and negative principles together again, 
the condition of childhood, and simplicity is reached, a condi- 
tion of perfect peace and trust and happiness. In this condi- 
tion the ways of the Infinite are made clear, and all wisdom is 
with the life eternal that dwells within. With this attainment 
the human body is transformed into an instrument, or medium 
for the highest. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 165 

Individual determination and effort can bring this about, 
nothing else. All pl^sical appetites and desires must be con- 
trolled first. All become metaphysical healers and teachers, 
who accomplish this. 

The real significance of this lesson must be perceived. It 
cannot be taught. 



INDIVIDUAL ASTRAL VIBRATION. 



Our physical bodies are made up from the dust of the 
Earth, and from conception to birth, and from birth to death, 
everything outside of our bodies is vibrating toward it. We 
are operated upon from without, b}^ everything about us, 
most potent of which are the planets of our solar s}^stem. It 
has been explained that if Mercury is in strong aspect to the 
Earth at birth, that the circulation, the vibration, the activities, 
are greater than when Mercury is in weak aspect. This being 
the law, it is plain to be seen that a soul when embodied is 
capable of vibrating the astral fluid of which it is composed, 
and penetrating through the physical body, according to the 
physical or magnetic stamp at birth. This is the natural un- 
cultivated condition, and relation of the astral to the physical. 

DIAGRAMS 36-37. 

The soul vibrates from within outward. The following 
diagrams will illustrate the power of an astral, under different 
magnetic physical environments. Diagrams No. 36 and 37 
show the natural action of the astral vibrations, meeting the 
magnetic or planetary forces. Or to state it more clearly, the 
action of the astral or interior forces within a body whose mag- 
netic or planetary condition is produced by the horoscope 
shown in this illustration.

168 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

All of the planets are in positive or mental signs except 
Jnpiter and Satnrn; they are in a negative physical sign, so 
they do not influence the mind to any great extent; bnt they 
do prodnce a powerful magnetic condition in the system by 
being in the section of the stomach, and therefore indicate a 
person with great magnetic healing gifts. All of the other 
planets operate directly upon the mind and brain. Mercury 
vibrates to the tongue and vocal organs; Venus vibrates 
through the eyes and softens the expression. Uranus peeps 
out of the forehead and investigates things spiritual. Neptune 
leads the thought far away. Mars comes out between Venus 
and Mercury, and corrects the blunders that they otherwise 
would make. In this character the vibrations are very forci- 
ble both magnetically, or physically and mentally. This is a 
wonderful combination for mental and magnetic healing. The 
aura is extended far out from the system and can be felt ten 
feet away, and the thought is very potent, and can be vibrated 
great distances with little effort. Many persons meeting such 
a character as this would be stunned for a moment by the vi- 
brant forces so potent and powerful. By study and concen- 
tration of energy, the power to be gained by a person of this 
nature is beyond the belief or comprehension of those who do 
not seek and prove to themselves the wonderful operations of 
this law of being. 

DIAGRAMS 38-39. 

In the second illustration we find almost an exact opposite 
as far as forces are concerned. All of the planets are negative 
except the Earth and Saturn, which are positive upon the 
nervous system, which means a weakness. The other planets 
being negative and Mercury being very weak there is nothing 
to vivify the flesh. The astral is obliged to vivify the system 
or retreat and let the outer elements slowly grind them into

the dust. Neptune alone influences the mind and the yearn- 
ing produced is for something out of reach. These characters 
will always want, and never have anything, and never accom- 
plish anything. Their souls cannot penetrate, and vivify the 
body, and they have no brains or mental qualities to appeal to. 
Everything is dormant, cloddy, stiff, and disagreeable. 

DIAGRAMS 40-41. 

In this combination we have a wonderful physical balance, 
but a very negative expression from the physical. The vital- 
ity is low on account of Mercury being in weak aspect to the 
Earth. The conjunctions make a very enduring physical 
constitution. Mercury alone, operates upon the mind, the 
sign Aries, the section of speech and expression. This 
wonderful balance of the planets will produce a sensation of 
satisfaction w T ithin, and a high appreciation of self. But Mer- 
cury has no governor, therefore the utterances will be silly, 
flghty, without sense, and very untruthful. The whole life 
will be spent bragging about self, and what self can do. Such 
persons will never accomplish anything worthy of mention, 
but will sit for days and talk about little insignificant personal 
matters. 

We will change two planets and give this character some 
brains to back up what Mercury can express when it is there 
to express. 

DIAGRAMS 43-44. 

By this change of Jupiter and the Earth into the house 
of Libra, we produce a character with great mental power, 
giving Mercury something to express. Jupiter being the 
planet of wealth, will cause this mind to seek wealth and large 
business dealings on account of being in the trade house with 
the Earth in conjunction. This means millions to this char-

acter, for wealth, will surely flow to such in great abundance. 
Physical vibrations extend but a short distance, that is they 
can be sensed but a short distance from the body. Mental or 
thought vibrations are more potent and subtle, and can be di- 
rected and transmitted great distances, repeating their vibra- 
tions upon others, producing sensations and effects undreamed 
of by most people. To be able to do this and to build about 
ourselves an aura which cannot be penetrated or contaminated, 
means power over the physical environment of the flesh. To 
this end, all should strive, and when all are thus protected, all 
may meet and mingle without fear, and without danger, for 
all will be pure, clean, and true to the highest and holiest that 
is possible. To vibrate the astral substance then, is the all 
important lesson we wish to convey by these illustrations. 
Those who have an ordinary brain can cultivate and produce 
that force or will power, which nature failed to give them, by 
concentration of energy, will and thought. Take a subject, 
and confine the thoughts to the same, and continue to do so 
until no other subject can attract the mind from it. Then 
take another subject, and do the same thing. This exercise 
will give mental power. For physical exercise in concentrat- 
ing the vibrant forces within — the astral substance — take 
breathing exercises. Draw a long, deep breath, and hold it as 
long as possible, expanding the entire body, vivifying every 
atom from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet. Con- 
tinue these exercises until you can start the perspiration from 
any section of your body at any time by concentrating your 
forces upon that portion of the anatomy. When this can be 
accomplished, the battle is virtually won, and the possibilities 
of your nature will be determined. 

Whenever you sneeze, which means you have taken a cold, 
immediately take a long breath, (we should always breathe 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 175 

through, the nose, not the mouth,) and hold it until the entire 
system is vibrated, and strained somewhat. The chill will be 
thrown off at once, and no cold will be experienced. There 
must be no delay in this, it must be done at once. 

Do not sit around and wait for some spirit to come and do 
your work, and heal your infirmities. You are embodied for 
the purpose of expressing your own spirit, see to it that no 
one robs you of the right. Receive all of the good vibrations 
that spirits can give you, but do something for yourself, if you 
expect results.

PHRENOLOGY AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 



THE MENTAL QUADRATE. 

The following diagram illustrates the phrenological sec- 
tions of the mental quadrate of the houses or signs of the 
Zodiac. 

Aries comes first, and includes the physiognomy. When 
planets are in this sign, they intensify intuition, perception, 
impression, clairvoyant vision, physical sight, smell and taste. 
They draw to this sign, and focalize the influence of planets 
in other sections of the Zodiac, and thus intensify the powers 
and functions covered by this sign. This phrenological quar- 
ter begins at the extreme point of the chin and extends to the 
top of the forehead, as indicated in diagram. These four sec- 
tions meet at the drum of the ear, where sound, not sensed by 
sight, smell, or taste, vibrates from every quarter of the uni- 
verse and appeals to the consciousness of man at this focal 
center. Aries is the mental sign in the quarter of love 

Cancer includes the bulk of the upper brain, or cerebrum, 
hence, thought, consideration, deliberation, study, research, 
calculation, determination, form, system and direction, are 
qualifications, or traits, indicated by planets when in the sign 
Cancer, according to the nature of each. Cancer is a very 
brainy section, the mental sign in the quarter of wisdom, and 
planets in this sign denote power and ability to gain knowl- 
edge easily. When the Earth is also in one of these four signs 
the influence of a planet is much more powerful, as already ex- 
plained. This section begins at the end of Aries and extends 



180 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

to the back of the brain, as indicated in diagram. As the 
convolntions of the brain in this section direct and control the 
functions of the organism; to be able to single out and inten- 
sify the power of each functional brain center is the secret to 
mental power in healing, and influencing others. 

Libra is that section in which is centered the powers and 
forces of the physical man. The cerebelum and nerve centers 
are stationed here, and through this central station the thought 
fires up, as it were, for its journey through the different parts 
of the system. In giving utterance with the lips the powers 
of Libra are drawn upon, hence, the significance of the planets 
in that sign. Planets in Libra increase the physical forces,, 
especially in verbal utterances, as Libra is opposite Aries.. 
They furnish backing and force to the meaning of the words 
and sentences used in speech. They furnish nerve and confi- 
dence to those who s*peak in public, when in the sign Libra. 
Orators are more competent when Libra is well charged with 
favorable magnets for speech and eloquence. Libra being in 
the quarter of wealth signifies business ability, and inclination 
to mercantile pursuits. 

Capricornus is the fourth and last section in the mental 
quadrate, and covers the muscular centers of strength and 
powers of all human physical bodies, from a phrenological 
standpoint. This section is opposite the sign Cancer and sig- 
nifies power and ability mentally to execute upon the physical • 
or business plane. When this sign has powerful magnets like 
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune or Uranus, they signify ability to 
carry on enterprises according to the nature of the planet. 
Jupiter signifying power to make money in such labors, while 
Saturn signifies power to do, but trouble in doing, and finan- 
cial loss. Neptune means gain and financial success. Uranus 
means inventive genius and ability to accomplish much in 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 181 

carrying forward business projects, but with little financial 
gain. Capricornus is the mental sign in the quarter of labor, 
and signifies strong and powerful characters when well charged 
by powerful magnets. 

This mental quadrate must be consulted in order to find 
the capabilities of persons intellectually, and especially as to 
their powers for giving utterance, expression, and explanation 
of their views. There are no public speakers worth listening 
to who have no planets in this mental quadrate at birth. The 
planets that give the greatest possibilities in this quadrate are 
Mercury, which gives fluency in speech, quick and potent 
thoughts, high perception, vivid imagination, wit, mirth, and 
vitality. The next best magnet for intelligence and oratorical 
qualifications is Mars, which gives calculation, accuracy, force, 
declaration, argument, and seriousness. Mercury and Mars 
together in this quadrate with the Earth, gives a most intense 
mental nature, and the greatest conversationalist possible to 
be produced. The next best magnet is Jupiter, which adds 
strength and majesty to the character, and force, power and 
eloquence to the expression. With these three magnets should 
be placed the planet Venus next in order to improve the con- 
ditions, as Venus gives pathos, tenderness and harmony to 
speech and gesture. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune come 
along in their order after the others as arranged and explained. 
There are many combinations, however, which give great 
mental power when in this quadrate, Jupiter, Saturn, and the 
Earth, or Saturn, Neptune and the Earth, or Jupiter, Mercury 
and Uranus and Venus, Mercury and Saturn are not bad com- 
binations. The bad combinations are: Mars, Mercury and 
Saturn; Mars, Mercury and Uranus; Uranus and Saturn; 
Mars and Saturn; Mercury and Saturn; Mercury and Nep- 
tune. The horrible combinations are: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, 



182 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

Saturn; Mercury, Uranus, Mars and Saturn; Uranus, Neptune, 
Mars and Saturn; Mercury, Mars and Uranus. 

Whenever these bad combinations come in the mental 
quadrate, they signify that the mind is in a bad state, and the 
causes should be fully explained to those who seek relief, for 
they will be much more contented with a knowledge of the 
cause of their inward feelings, than they will in ignorance of it. 

These good and bad combinations effect people in a simi- 
lar manner when they come in the vital or mental quadrates; 
but the mentality is more intensely operated upon in the 
mental signs. A bad combination acting upon the nervous 
system, deranges the system, and the mind is effected by the 
sustenance taken through the physical or nerve centers to 
supply the brain. 

The full Phrenological Zodiac is given herein showing the 
divisions of the head, and the influence upon the mental, and 
anatomical development of the cranium. 

Aries covers that portion which includes the sense of 
smell and taste, and signifies those qualifications and desires 
as explained or written in that division. When Mercury, the 
planet of keenest sense, because the most vital, is in this sec- 
tion, these senses are made very keen. The nose and chin is 
sharpened also in shape, if no large magnets are in the mental 
quadrate, to thicken these parts. When Saturn is in this 
section the senses are dull, negative, and subject to irritation.. 
Inharmony afflicts the speech, and a generally bad expression 
is the result. Place Venus in this section and the appetite is 
increased and the desire for material things, stimulants and 
odors is also intensified. The utterances are rendered harmo- 
nious and soft, however. 

Mars makes harsh the utterances, but precision in express- 
ing ideas, and so all of the planets operate according to their 



184 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

natures, as heretofore explained in physical and mental delinea- 
tions. The object of this explanation is to show how the 
planets effect the cranium, separate and distinct from the bal- 
ance of the system, for the upper brain or cerebrum, manifests 
the power latent within each human organism. 

Remember each of the phrenological traits or tendencies 
as given in the foregoing chart, or diagram, in each sign, is in- 
tensified by each planet in the sign, or in the quadrate which 
includes a sign, and when a planet is weak in aspect, the 
phrenological effect is limited. 

All of these phrenological traits are the result of physi- 
ological conditions, for example: When a planet is in Leo, the 
blood is intensified in action, the heart is made more powerful 
in its action, hence, the brain receives a greater supply, and it 
is magnetically charged at the heart by the nature of the mag- 
net operating in thaj: section or quadrate. 



MAGNETIC CO-ORDINATION CHART. 



The polarization of the heavenly magnets to the different 
sections in the anatomies of men and women, is the cause of 
the harmony, or otherwise, that exists between married 
couples, and in fact, the cause of harmony and inharmony in 
human life generally. The following diagrams will show har- 
monious and inharmonious unions. As all unions are more or 
less inharmonious, it is only necessary to illustrate the reason 
for it without attempting to offer a remedy, except to those who 
are yet to be united. Wherever this chart shows cross cur- 
rents of planets that do not harmonize or blend, on those lines 
inharmony creeps in, and wherever these lines meet and are 
agreeable magnetically on such lines, harmony blesses the 
union. Thus Mercury and Neptune can never cross each 



THE LAW A:N T D THE PROPHETS. 185 

other. Venus and Uranus, Saturn and Mars meet also and 
blend mentally and physically, while Jupiter is the center and 
signifies wealth, power and glory on which most people agree 
to get all they can of, so Jupiter is the ruler of the Earth, and 
its partnership relations. The broken lines show the action 
of planets in the mental quadrate outside of Aries, intensify- 
ing the mental powers. 

The illustration which indicates harmony, shows a perfect 
meeting of the physical vibrations of the two organisms. Jupi- 
ter, Uranus, and Neptune is operating upon the mind of the 
male, which signifies few words, but deep and intense thought, 
calculation and understanding. The female brain is operated 
upon by Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, showing a fluenc}^ of 
speech, harmonious and pathetic. 

The illustration of inharmonious co-ordinations, shows no 
physical cross currents or inharmony, but the cross currents 
of Neptune, Uranus and Mars, from the male brain, conflict with 
Neptune and Saturn in the female. The Neptune vibrations 
from each harmonize all right, and also the Mars from the 
male, and Saturn from the female, but the male head has 
Uranus operating also which does not blend with either Saturn 
or Mars, hence, contention on the mental plane, causing 
jealousy and distrust..

AN IDEAL CHARACTER. 



The closing illustration in this work shows a horoscope 
(diagram 45) of the heavens most favorable for entrance into 
mortal life. Diagram 46 shows the result when favorable en- 
vironments are found. An ideal character, gifted physically, 
mentally, morally, and spiritually. A natural orator, a genius, 
a worker, a teacher, and a leader among men. Such a charac- 
ter always goes to the front and makes his mark in the world. 
He needs no guardian, he needs no teacher; his soul is har- 
moniously related to the material world. Such natures may be 
produced by the genius of man. Who is there, that would not 
be proud of such a son as this. The careless, loose, accidental, 
haphazard, reproduction of our kind renders it almost impos- 
sible for souls to gain a favorable entrance into mortal life. 
Most people are .afraid to think on this subject, therefore 
misery and suffering are rampant on the Earth. 

This work, " The Law and the Prophets," is for those who 
wish to use it in an educational way, not for the idler who reads 
that he may satisfy his curiosity. The world needs the infor- 
mation it contains, and we need more of the characters repre- 
sented in this illustration. 

The Chinese figure the age of a person from conception 
instead of birth, which is all right with an understanding of 
the law of embodiments. The planets are rapidly chang- 
ing, and forming combinations, both favorable and unfavorable, 
for the primal proceeding. To know these combinations, is to 
be able to select a suitable period for the beginning of physical 
life. 

It is the duty of parents then, to consult the "Tables of 
the Law," The Oracles of the " most high," in order to raise a 
gifted, intelligent, healthy, and happy family.

INCARNATIONS. 



It is plain to be seen that material expressions in natuic 
are evolntionary. The frnits and flowers of the garden declare 
it; the breeding of stock declares it. The wonderful physical 
development of the Grecian and Roman nations proves conclu- 
sively that great strides in the evolution of human species 
have been, and ma}^ be made. Therefore, it behooves us to 
know something of the processes b}^ which these things are 
accomplished. 

As the magnetic law has such an important bearing upon 
the powers and capabilities of persons born into the world, our 
first duty is to study and understand this law, and to this end, 
this work is written. 

It is hoped that all who purchase a copy of this book will 
immediately form a class, and go to teaching this law. They 
should not wait until they have mastered it themselves, for the 
subject is an Infinite one. It is better to form a class at once 
and get some help to elucidate the subject. Souls are seeking 
for a favorable earthly environment. Those souls best learned 
in the law, can choose the best conditions generally. But 
there is so little choice in conditions that it is almost useless 
to seek. Of course the higher and holier the aspirations and 
capabilities of the parents, the higher and holier the nature of 
souls they attract to them. Hence, great souls usually em- 
body with mothers who are honorable, upright and true to 
themselves, though they may not be stylish, eloquent or even 
refined, according to the social standard. An honest, upright, 
pure minded woman, therefore, is the first primal requisite. 



192 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

The more learned the better, because in the training and edu- 
cation of an offspring, learning is very necessary, but if both 
honesty and learning cannot be found in one person, honesty 
is by far the most desirable. 

The next requisite is a proper mate, a man who is mag- 
netically co-ordinated and spiritually conditioned and en- 
lightened. With such a union, the most favorable physical 
preparations are made. The next thing is to be able to read 
the stars and Moon and find when there is a desirable combi- 
nation of magnetic forces, for remember, the more intelligence 
and genius displayed in building a physical organism, the 
greater will be the production, the same as writing a book or 
making a watch. 

With an understanding of these laws, as set forth in this 
work, and the above suggestions, I will leave the subject for 
those who are to- prepare the way for coming generations, 
trusting that in the year 2180 or thereabouts, when I return to 
embody again, there will be so many invitations extended to 
me from those learned in " The Law and the Prophets," 
that I will be able to find veritable Angels in human guise, 
ready to welcome me, and call me by name. 

The Rocky Mountains will be my place of landing in 
that prophetic century, when Mystics from the Orient and the 
Occident will bring to the Earth a new dawn, by their advent 
among the people of that section of country, which is to be the 
grandest and most beautiful the world has ever known. 



THE ADEPT. 



As the positive forces are the highest when the Earth 
enters the sign Aries, that portion of the Earth nearest the 
equator, is best for the expression of positiveness, therefore, 
best for the development of mind force, and mental power. 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 193 

Hence, for ages, the greatest of all mental and psychic powers 
have been evolved through the lives of those born in Egypt, 
Persia, India, and other countries near the equator. Those 
born at just the right time, say about September 25th, Decem- 
ber 25th, March 23d, or June 24th, are those whose develop- 
ment and wisdom outrivals the world in matters occult. They 
are the adepts, the masters, the prophets, the seers and inter- 
preters of the " sacred word," and revealers of the hidden laws, 
and forces, permeating the entire universe. They stand above 
the common herd, and are worshipped by those who cannot 
" read their titles clear to mansions in the sky." And yet they 
are only greater expressions of the possibilities of each. 

The positions of the planets on the dates given determine 
the degree of power of those who are born when the Earth 
enters one of these four signs. There may be stronger com- 
binations for positiveness on other dates, therefore, it must 
not be supposed that bright and positive minds cannot be pro- 
duced at other times. But if the planets are in powerful aspect 
for mental and will power, and the Earth is in one of the four 
houses mentioned, the direct effect upon the Earth is greatly 
intensified and a more positive relation and result is produced. 
With this natural magnetic condition must come experiences, 
which will unfold the latent possibilities of the nature, until the 
higher mental and spiritual (especially the latter) powers are 
made manifest, understood, and brought under the subjection 
of the will. To accomplish this, is the all in all of human 
life and development. 



194 THE LAW AKD THE PROPHETS. 



SPIRITUALLY. 



Let those who seek this higher goal, 

Drink deep, or not at all, 
Lest they become entangled, 

And through the senses fall. 

Remember, all must earn their way, 

All alone the journey take, 
And from the pure waters of life 

Their unquenched thirst must slake. 

And as they seek in outer world, 

Where'er the mental part would lead, 

Experiences thus are gained, 
Most valuable indeed. 

Another realm they'll surely find, 

In which all wisdom lies; 
Within their souls a mystic key 

Unlocks the starry skies. 

The Infinite plan is there made plain, 
And in the silence of the night, 

Angels from that higher realm, 
Reveal the " Hidden Light." 

The light that makes for man on Earth 
A heaven where'er he dwells; 

Brings music of the vibrant spheres; 
The chimes of starry bells. 



THE LAW AND THE PEOPHETS. 195 

It gives to him who seeks aright, 

Inspiration and power divine; 
To understand all outward forms, 

And penetrate the inner shrine 

Of embodied souls, and spirits gone, 

Of worlds and systems yet to be, 
Of all that is, or e'er has been, 

In the boundless cycle of Infinity. 

This sacred light is a " Word" of might, 
And " Man" its counterpart on Earth, 

Must drink at its fountain, pure and bright, 
Before he wins the higher birth. 

The hidden fire must consume the dross, 

The healing waters soothe the pain, 
And Mother Earth must claim her own, 

Ere we mount the airy heights again. 



TABLES. 



The tables giving the powers of the different planets in 
the twelve houses or divisions of the Zodiac when correctly 
calculated as to their relation to the Earth, and her power of 
position, according to rule, shows two ruling stars, a physical 
ruler and a mental ruler. The physical ruler is the planet 
strongest in power according to the physical table, while the 
mental ruler is the strongest in effect upon the mind. 

There is still another ruling star which is by far the most 
potent of all in the complete career of a life, and that is the 
planet in strongest aspect to the Earth, regardless of percent- 
ages. This is called the life ruler, and explains the general 
nature and character. The physical ruler, therefore pertains 



196 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

to the physical body, the mental ruler to the mentality, 
while the life ruler pertains to the general proceedings, im- 
pulses and desires. 

The tables for placing the planets together with the me- 
chanical chart is the result of much study, experiment, and 
mathematical calculation, and required the making of over 
eleven hundred thousand figures to simplify and bring it to its 
present state of usefulness. By this simple device, and a table 
with one correction annually, the positions of the planets of our 
solar system may be found for any day, for all time, past, 
present and future; making it a perpetual ephemeris for all 
time. The simplicity of its construction brings it within the 
comprehension of children, and also simplifies the study of the 
stars from an occult standpoint, so that each and every one 
may soon know their meaning, and be able to read character, 
and delineate physical conditions without difficulty. 



MECHANICAL CHART AND TABLES. 



The mechanical chart and tables are used as follows: The 
outer circles printed on the bed piece of chart gives the days 
of the month, month of the year, and the day that the Earth 
enters each sign. Every other date is given in figures, the 
two days being divided by a small line, to avoid small figures. 
A slate or tablet of paper may be used on which to mark the 
circle, signs and divisions of the Zodiac. 

Now, suppose we wish to find what signs the planets were 
in when baby Esther was born, September 9th, 1893. First 
find what sign the Earth was in on that date, by tracing the 
date circle to September 9th, and observing what sign is in the 
circle outside of said date. We find it is Pisces, so the Earth 






THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 197 

should be placed in the sign Pisces on the slate. It will be 
observed that trie Earth entered Pisces on August 23d, hence 
is in that sign until September 24th. 

The revolving disk represents Mercury, Venus, Mars and 
the Moon, by colored circles and divisions for each. 

The green circle represents Mercury. 

The blue circle represents Venus. 

The red circle represents Mars. 

The center circle represents the Moon. 

The disk must be set according to tables for the year 
under consideration for each planet, in order to find its position. 

To find Mercury we refer to table for setting the disk of 
the chart, and run down the column giving the years at the 
left, until we come to 1893, and for the year 1893 we find that 
Mercury entered the sign Scorpio, on January 7th. Have disk 
right side up. We now turn the disk toward the bottom with 
the right hand until the first sign of Scorpio, on green circle, we 
come to is at January 7th. The line dividing Libra from 
Scorpio should be even with line dividing January 6th from 
January 7th. Hold in place and run the sight around the 
circle to September 9th, and the sign Leo will be on the green 
circle on disk opposite that date. In the Zodiac this is the 
house or sign for Mercury only, on that date. So we place 
Mercury in the sign Leo. 

It will be seen at once that when this disk is set accord- 
ing to the table any year, that any date may be found for that 
year without moving the disk. The same with the other 
planets (except as explained concerning the Black Star.) 

We find in the t*able 1893, that Venus entered Scorpio on 
January 2d. Always have the disk right side up to start with. 
Draw down with the right hand as with Mercury until the 
sign Scorpio is at January 2d. Now, by following the Venus 



198 THE LAW A^D THE PROPHETS. 

or blue circle around the disk, we come to the end of the circle 
indicated by the black star, which is at the end of the sign 
Libra. Observe the date line opposite the line denoting the 
end of Libra, which is August 14th, and turn the disk toward 
you with the right hand to the beginning of the coming sign, 
which is Scorpio. That is to say, so that the beginning of 
Scorpio will be on the line beginning August 14th. Refer as 
before to September 9th, and we find the sign Sagittarius oppo- 
site on the blue circle, so we place Venus in that sign on the slate. 

Mars has two circles, as that planet moves only one-half 
the distance around the Zodiac each year. It is in reality a con- 
tinuous circle. On February 5th, 1893, Mars entered Gemini 
according to table, set the same as others, and on September 
9th, the sign Virgo is on the red circle, so we place Mars in the 
sign Virgo on the slate. 

The first new Moon in 1893, we find in table to be on 
January 16th, set in same manner, and on September 9th, it is 
a new Moon. Place the Moon always in the same sign with ths 
Earth — new Moon between the Earth and Sun, full Moon op- 
posite, and the quarters at right angels thereto. 

After the disk has been set and the sign found for the 
date desired, for one planet, it is not necessary to pay any at- 
tention to that circle when finding the next one. A straight 
edge may be used from center to outer circle or date to set 
disk true, if necessary, when they are close to lines. The- 
four outer planets are found in tables without using the chart 
as they remain a long time in each sign. 

We now refer to table of Jupiter, and we find that planet 
entered Taurus on January 20th, 1893. As Jupiter remains in 
each sign about one year, of course on September 9th, he is still 
in Taurus. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are found in like 
manner. 



THE LAW AXD THE PROPHETS. 199 

Saturn remains in each, sign about two and one-Half years, 
Uranus seven, and Neptune fourteen years. Having placed 
all of the planets on the slate in their proper signs for Septem- 
ber 9th, 1893, we have produced a horoscope of the heavens at 
the birth of Miss Esther Cleveland, Washington, D. C. 
(These simple rules should be well learned, as they apply to 
all dates.) 



* THE BLACK STAR. 



On each circle of the revolving disk is a Black Star de- 
noting the end. Whenever it is necessary to pass this star 
after the disk has been set, in order to arrive at the date 
figured on, we must observe the date of the end, and turn the 
disk back to the following sign, and then proceed to date de- 
sired. The sign then opposite on the disk will be correct. 

Example. — Suppose Mercury enters Aries on January 
1st, any year, then set Aries at January 1st. Now, suppose the 
date figured on is December 28th, in passing around the circle 
we pass the Black Star on the Mercury circle before we reach 
December 28th, so we must take the date opposite the Black 
Star and turn the coining sign (which is Aries on this circle) 
back to said date. We then refer to December 28th, and we 
find Mercury is in Taurus. 

The Black Star on the Venus circle ends with Scorpio, so 
the coming sign is Sagittarius, on the Venus circle, and it must 
be turned back to that sign. On Mars the coming sign is 
Aries; on the Moon it is New Moon. 

So watch the Black Star, and the coming sign in finding 
positions.

Rule. — To find the physical power of a planet at any given time, 
add the number of its aspect to the Earth, to the power of position, 
multiply by three, and then add the co-ordinate power of the Earth's 
position, and the re*sult will be the physical power of the planet's effect 
upon the Earth at the time. The same rule applies to the mental table. 
These rules are arranged to give the ruling stars after co-ordinating their 
mental and physical relations.

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

ASTRONOMICAL FIGURES. 



205 



To bring the dimensions and relations of the planets of 
our solar system within the comprehension of mortals, it is 
necessary to construct a system in the mind made up from 
physical bodies with which we are familiar. Astronomy gives 
an illustration something like this: 

Imagine yourself stationed in the center of a large field 
or prairie beside a ball 4 feet 8 inches in diameter, to repre- 
sent the Sun. Now, imagine a ball about the size of an ordi- 
nary pea or current, placed on the circumference of a circle 
194 feet from the large ball representing the Sun. This will 
illustrate the distance from, and comparative size of the planet 
Mercury to the Sun. On a circle 362 feet from the Sun, place 
an ordinary cherry to represent the beautiful magnet Venus. 
A ball about the same size should be placed 500 feet from the 
center to represent the Earth. 




The Orbit of the Earth as seen by an observer at the Sun. 



206 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

Next in order is Mars, and in comparison would be about 
the size of a large currant, and should be on a circle 762 
feet away from the Sun. A belt of planetoids come next which 
would be represented best by grains of sand and gravel about 
equally divided around a circle one-quarter mile distant from 
the center. Jupiter, by a globe about the size of a large 
cocoanut, 5^ inches in diameter, on the circumference of a 
circle distant from the Sun about one-half mile. A ball 4^ 
inches in diameter, inside of a small hoop 7 inches in di- 
ameter, would illustrate Saturn and his rings, and should be 
about one mile away. An ordinary orange will fill the place 
of Uranus at a distance of nearly two miles from the Sun. 
Neptune is somwhat larger than Uranus and must be placed 
nearly three miles away in order to illustrate the immense dis- 
tance of that magnet from the central Orb. 

Now for the Moons: Take a ball about as large as the 
head of an ordinary pin and place it on a circle 16 inches from 
the Barth to represent our Moon on its orbit. Jupiter's four 
large moons, being each the size of Mercury, would be repre- 
sented by small currants, on circles around Jupiter and distant 
from it — the first, 18^3 inches; the second, 29^ inches; the 
third, 46^ inches; and the fourth, 80 inches (6^ feet). 
Saturn's eight moons would be represented by small currants, 
the one farthest from Saturn being about the size of Mercury, 
the others growing smaller as they approach it and on circles 
distant from it — the first, 8 inches; the second, 10 inches; 
the third, 12^/2 inches; the fourth, 16 inches; the fifth, 22 3-5 
inches; the sixth, 52 inches; the seventh, 62^3 inches; and 
the eighth, 12 feet 7 inches. Four of the moons of Uranus 
would have to be represented about the same as those of 
Saturn and on circles distant from it — the first, 8 feet and 8 
inches; the second, 52 inches; the third, 25 inches; the fourth, 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 207 

19 inches. Neptune's one known moon would be represented 
on a circle about 15 inches from it. These figures give the 
relative sizes and distances of the stars composing our solar 
system. 

What does this imaginary system represent? First, this 
ball 4 feet 8 inches in diameter represents a ball that is really 
852,584 miles in diameter. The first small pea or currant, Mer- 
cury, is 2,962 miles in diameter and 35,329,638 miles from the 
Sun. The diameter of Venus is 7,510 miles. Venus is dis- 
tant from the Sun 66,131,478 miles, and the Earth about the 
same in size is distant 91,430,220 miles. Mars has a diameter 
of 4,920 miles and is distant from the Sun 139,312,226 miles. 
The great Jupiter, with a diameter of about 88,390 miles, is 
distant from the Sun 475,693,149 miles. Saturn has a diameter 
of 77,904 miles, with its rings extending on all sides about 
50,000 miles farther, making the diameter about 170,000 
miles. It is distant from the Sun 872,134,583 miles. Uranus' 
diameter is 33,024 miles, and is distant from the Sun 1,753,- 
851,052 miles. Neptune, with a diameter of 36,620 miles and 
a distance from the Sun of 2,746,271,232 miles; giving the 
solar system a diameter of 5,492,542,464 miles. The planets 
make the circuit of their respective orbits: Mercury in 88 days; 
Venus in 224 days; Earth in one } T ear, 365 days; Mars in 68j 
days; Jupiter in 11 years, 10 months, and 17 days; Saturn in 
about 29^ years; Uranus in about 84 years; and Neptune in 
164 3 r ears. The solar system thus appears to be very large, 
but is only relatively so. As compared with the Earth and 
earthly things, it is large; but compared with the small clus- 
ter of 16,000,000 suns and all their attendant planets to which 
we belong, it is very small indeed.

THE LAW AND THE PKOPHETS. 




Relative Sizes of the Planets. 

With such, wonderful calculations concerning the magni- 
tudes and relations of the planets in our solar system, well 
may we inquire how are we, as human beings, related to these 
heavenly magnets. Professor Proctor, the celebrated astrono- 
mer, has stated that the planet Neptune, 2,750,000,000 miles 
from the Sun, vibrates and trembles like a reed in the wind when- 
ever great magnetic and electrical storms are raging upon the 
Sun. This being true, there must be a very intimate relation 
existing between our Earth and that wonderful Orb, and the 



THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 209 

electrical and magnetic currents are the basis of calculations 
for much of the phenomena transpiring all about us. 

" Where are the souls to whom the spectacle of a starry- 
night is not an eloquent discourse? Where are those who have 
not been sometimes arrested in the presence of the bright 
worlds which hover over our heads, and who have not sought 
for the key of the great enigma of creation? The solitary 
hours of night are in truth the most beautiful of all our hours. 
The Orb of day hides from our view the grandeur of the firma- 
ment; it is during the night that we are able to communicate 
with the great starry spheres, encircling our earthly home." 

Without beginning and without end is this vast expanse 
of apparent space which surrounds us, yet rapid are the 
changes that are constantly taking place. 

Worlds are born, developed, and brought to their highest 
estate for the expression of soul life, when they begin to de- 
cline, and finally become dead and cold material magnets, to 
be re-constructed, re-vivified, in coming cycles to take their 
place again in a " new heaven, (as) new earths." 

The great weather prophets, Balot, Hornburg, Zadkiel, 
Mansill, Hicks, and many others, base their calculations upon 
this occult relation, magnetic and electrical, which binds the 
planets of our solar system together, as with cables of steel, 
and their prognostications concerning the weather, although 
not absolute, are very wonderful. The weather, however, can- 
not be located accurately by astronomical calculations, as it is 
principally atmospherical, although the magnetic and electrical 
currents have a bearing, in producing atmospheric disturb- 
ances. But to locate a storm is beyond the calculations of men. 
The human organism has wonderful electrical and magnetic 
forces which are little understood by the majority of people; 
but many scientific minds are investigating the wonderful 



210 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 

magnetic relation existing between human beings, who are 
human magnets, and planetary beings, which are planetary 
magnets; and " The Law and the Prophets" is designed to 
give the truth concerning these relations and influences in the 
simplest and shortest method possible. 



CONCLUSION. 



As I conclude to finish this work and write " the end" 
at the bottom of this page, a million pages come up before me 
for recognition, and statement. My soul yearns for more time 
and more space with which to explain the meaning of law, 
the meaning of life, the meaning of wisdom, the meaning 
of power, the meaning of eternal happiness, contentment 
and satisfaction, which is found in the inner sanctum, 
sanctorum, that abideth forever within the soul. I hope 
that every one who reads this work will become a teacher, 
and assist in elevating the human race to a higher 
standard. My work is done. Take it, O! mortals, and use 
it, — " For the harvest is abundant and the laborers are few."
